A Cupcake for Women’s Day
Image created onCanva
A little culinary treasure
smiles in front of me.
A soft, like-cotton cupcake
topped with lavender cream.
Gentle vanilla aroma
tickles my feeling of pleasure.
It is a day of celebration
of what women achieved
and of their beautiful dreams.
It matches the same lavender color
of my fancy scarf today.
Coincidence? Maybe because,
we both are sweet in our lavender way.
