"Hewo" she said
"Hello,little girl
how are you today"

"I'm happy, I had
ice cweam with
my daddy and
we went to the
pwetty beach"

*Wow, who would've
thought that those-
such simple things,
made one happy*
"Do you like ice cweam"
"Well, apparently
I love it, but
its been awhile
since I've truly
  enjoyed it."

"but why?"
"Well life is
  busy
I don't have time
for such trivial things"

"trivial? like games?
oh, I love games!"

*games? I had to smirk*
"no sweetie, not games
right now, enjoying
isn't so important"

"liar! it is important"
she shot back
"Ice cweam makes
people happy
you have to be
happy, love yourself
so people will see
and do the same.
My daddy said so!"

*such arrogance
  this little girl
she'd argue with
  a brick wall
if she thought
it was wrong*
"Sorwy, my daddy
is calling me
bye bye"

with that
it had ended
and I was left
with this emptiness
so I walked to the kitchen
took out a pint of "Ice cweam"
as she said, and enjoyed
all the memories
came rushing back
and I cried tears
of joy

and here I thought
I made the call
which traveled through
space and time to
give my younger self
some needed advice
who would've thought
at the age of just five
I'd teach myself
       to love.

Can't go wrong with ice cream, or with this piece. Liked the story and the message. Thanks for sharing... think I'll go to the frig. Peace.

I love this piece because it is so different.  Treat yourself to an ice cream, you deserve it.
