Chocolate Poems
( 14 Votes )No sugar for you," on the doctor's face a sad smile
Can you imagine a four year old not allowed sugar for a while?
But, it's true that for this sick little one
His life so far hasn't been much fun.
Can you imagine a four year old not allowed sugar for a while?
But, it's true that for this sick little one
His life so far hasn't been much fun.
You cannot eat that chocolate Today
When he was four, he spent summer and early fall
In the mountains at Camp Simcha and truly had a ball.
He had a gift: it was needed in this of all places
He could bring a smile to the saddest of faces.
Always appreciating the earth's little beauties,
that most adults miss in pursuit of "more important" duties.
When snack time arrives, for a candy his small hand grabs
Success! A delicious chocolate bar he nabs!
"No, no," his counselor must say,
"you cannot eat that chocolate today."
His joy turns into some tears and then a frown,
Everyone gathers to see what has brought this child down.
Suddenly, his sadness turns into a brilliant smile
(It stretches out for at least half a mile!)
He holds up the candy in his tiny hand
and says, "If I can't eat it - maybe someone else can!"
`h ta hkrba - he did so well
That when he was in pain - you could not tell
te lkb -even at the darkest hour,
This small boy showed unshakeable inner power
