Cake ------ Today's a day made just for me I'm wrapped up in pure joy and glee I held each present, laughed out loud and carried every gift so proud A rocking horse, a book to read a handkerchief... just what I need Today the whole wide world is mine and everything around me's fine My mother laid the table out the cake so sweet, without a doubt the cups all lined up, warm and tall we poured our tea for one and all and every child called out with cheer "Who baked that cake and brought it here?" We tasted every crumb and slice and said it twice: it's more than nice We ran and played across the hall with hoops and tops and one big ball we jumped in circles, wild and free with laughter ringing out with glee our hearts cried out with open joy each laughing girl and laughing boy We touched each gift with grateful care and wished a day like this were rare Now softly fades the light away I close my eyes to end the day but in my dreams it carries right to somewhere past the fading light where every day's a celebration and cake is always the occasion I drift to sleep with one last smile and live inside the dream a while --- "Cake" Copyright © 2026 Rick n' Stolti.
