Feelings Never Die
It is Valentine's Day again, and it bought back memories that were over fifty years old.
It bought me back to 1971, and I woke up and I knew my baby was due today. I was big and pregnant, and I felt like I was about to burst wide open. Imagine my surprise when the doctor told my I had a due date of February 14. I couldn't believe it, and since my baby was due today, I felt I could indulge myself a bit. I had gained a lot of weight, and chocolate was on the no-no list, but I had came to the end of this pregnancy, and I hoped it would be okay, after all I would deliver this baby today. So I walked across the street to the grocery story, and bought myself, a peppermint patty, covered in chocolate, my favorite. Me and my Valentine's baby would enjoy it together.

A cloud of happiness, indeed! 😊
Awww, she's soooo adorable! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I love this, took me right back to the days when I got to ride on my daddy's shoulders or the more recent years watching him tote around my own children on his shoulders. Beautifully done.
A gorgeous subject and a gorgeous haiku to match! Takes me back to when my daughter was that young - a very long time ago. Well done, Sam!
Ohh! I liked that your daughter enjoys traveling. Keep taking her on trips. 😃 Fantastic haiku!
