The Lord's Been Good To Me, Giving Me The Things I Need

Dear Henry Appleseed, 
Having teeth since you were about 4 months old has created an eating machine.  Apples... your newest favorite, next to your banana stand by.  You can eat an entire banana yourself and if I'd give you another I do believe you'd eat that one too.  In the last two months Mommy and Daddy buy a couple of apples each grocery trip and Mommy starts to eat them and you steal them away.  At first it seems you just want a little nibble so I break you off a piece, NO WAY!  You want to handle the apple yourself and eat it all!  You put your pint size jaws opened as wide as you can on the side and chomp down.  Your eyes get huge!  

Then you chew with such relish and delight, juice soppin' out of your mouth and down your chin.  You smile and smack those pouty lips.  

 

Your rub it around on your face giving it a little hug, or to just keep us from getting it back.  You clap for the apples sweetness and sometime eat it so quickly you forget to chew.  Mommy and Daddy stand by as needed to help fish out pieces of the skin that get caught on your tongue.

 You smile and I can see all the happiness in your heart shoot out through your eyes.  I know you'd eat the core if I didn't snatch it away from you!  

 

 You love apples so much perhaps one day you'll take off where the legend Johnny Appleseed's work left off.   I've seen you with a pan on your head practicing already.  If you could just stay out of the toilets long enough to travel.  So grateful for nature's sweets like apples, bananas, carrots, peas and you!
Love,  Mommy
