yes grandpa I want ice cream
and we sit down to eat.
He explains to me his Lego x-wing fighter and other craft he created.
showing me the turns and how fast they can go
who the good guys are and the bad.
his excitement and pride in accomplishment expressed, he takes the first bite
and with pure honesty and a little surprise he says, "hmmmmm Vanilla."
Those words evoke in me
pleasure
gratitude
pride
closeness
Feelings I have never felt before with such intensity.
that moment, that very special moment
the innocence
the real
the taste
the smile
Hmmmm Vanilla.
