A Real Cookie Guy

 

Heavenly Cookies

Ooey Gooey! Melt in your mouth chocolate chips,

Not even thinking about it going straight to my hips!

Chocolate chip cookies, homemade and still hot,

What?  Willpower?  None I’ve got!

Made by a trained pastry chef, my daughter-in-law,

Who’s baking is renown and causes much awe,

She baked cookies a lot for my husband- a real cookie guy,

On his last Father’s Day, she baked him a plate stacked high,

She brought it to his bedside, and a big smile came upon his face,

He ate and ate and ate- like he was in a race,

With chocolate smeared in his mustache and beard, he was very content,

She probably will never know just how much that really meant,

For he only lived for another week after that Father’s Day,

May there be chocolate chip cookies in heaven for him, I pray.
