Baby and I lounge in bed
on an easy Sunday afternoon
He bounces around happily gobbling down
the banana slivers that I spoon him from the husk
Mmmmm’ma
With each sliver, he grants my face a kiss
He’s a loving gardener
Planting wet sticky banana-scented kisses
from which yields a harvest of happiness
Soul sustenance
Mmmmm’ma
Banana slivers bring him happiness
His sticky rewards leave me with a joy
that will never wash away
Mmmmm’ma
