A Small Moment

The delicate aroma wrapped around my body, and I raced home. As the delicious April scenery of the emerald green forest faded behind me, I skipped every step and got closer to the house, and closer to the mouth-watering lasagna. As I burst through the door, I could feel a wave of happiness crash over me. I seated myself at the end of the table and glanced at my family. Everyone was so happy, so joyful. I smiled on the inside and the outside. "Life is perfect." I whispered to myself, getting up to join the party of happiness.

Trying out something new

So, in trying to write in my blog more, I have decided to use a writing prompt each evening to write something in what ever format strikes my fancy. That being said, the first topic (given to me by a friend) is "cat popsicle".....

The Cat Popsicle

The popsicle dripped lazily onto the sidewalk. I licked the frozen treat. The creamy yet cold flavor danced on my taste buds. I glanced around and noticed a cat creeping toward the drops of ice cream that were resting on the pavement. I stepped back a few feet, so the cat didn't feel uncomfortable. She gingerly licked it up as I smiled. "Thank God it wasn't chocolate." I murmured. I licked up the rest of my drippy vanilla ice cream, and galloped inside!

My small moment

            I shoved the rest of my hot dog into my mouth, forcing it down my throat. I rushed into the hospital room, quickly stopping as I stared at my mom. She was caressing a small baby girl in her hands, admiring all the delicate characteristics packed into the precious little gift.
             "Do you want to hold her?" my mom asked, as I carefully stalked towards the bed. I excitedly reached for the baby, and my mom handed her to me as she glared at me for being so careless. I  cradled her in my arms and sat down in the chair by a window over looking the parking lot. I then found myself hypnotized by two bright, lively pools of baby blue eyes that burned into my soul. A passing nurse gazed at the wriggling baby resting in my arms.
              "If I where you I would cherish that gorgeous girl forever" she smiled.
"Trust me, we will" I whispered, lost in my baby sisters future.
