My baby is made of sugar

This has been running around in my head for weeks and just came together this morning:

My baby is made of sugar
I don't know if you are aware
She has chocolate eyes
And lollipop lips
And strawberries in her hair

My baby is made of sugar
Confectioner's I believe
Cotton candy for cheeks
And a gumdrop nose
It's something you just have to see

My baby is made of sugar
From her head down to her feet
With her licorice fingers
And marshmallow toes
There's nothing on earth that's as sweet!

Amen! ALL babies are made of sugar, and until you have one of your own...you just don't realize how much you would like to take a 'bite' of that sweet sugar! I know because I have two children of my own and five grandchildren....and everytime I give one of them a bath or see them running around in their 'birthday suits' I just think how 'sweet' they look! It is so hard to describe, but your poem did a good job! Love, Mrs. Sisse
