Cornbread Poem by Mark Heathcote

Break me like cornbread
Eat me and smile
I am just another ear of corn
Darling unwrap me
Hold me up and marvel
How I warm, fulfil your heart
Like cornbread
Like cornbread
Like a child kissed gently before bed
Like a songbird rising tomorrow
To meet, greet thee
Like oven baked bread
Like a garland platted into a bread roll
The sun will rise
And shine even brighter
Again tomorrow
Like cornbread
Like cornbread for you
A garland for your head
My darling
Darling unwrap me
Hold me up and marvel
How I warm, fulfil your heart
Like cornbread
Like cornbread
My darling
My darling
My darling
Cornbread!
