He wanted a cookie.

His mother said the timing wasn’t great. He’ll have to wait. Can get one for dessert.

He frowned. His lips turned down in a pout but puckered in consideration as his eyes inspected the contents of the transparent cookie jar.

Recreate not what shouldn’t have happened

Yet had

But what should have taken place

The seeds of which

Hold promise

To what may truly be

Worth recreating

When time

Once more

Comes around.
