Truffles

Lisa R. Strong
Silky smooth, dark and light;
Super sweet, creamy white;
Chocolate covered balls of bliss;
Accented with a spicy kiss;
Infused with coffee or with tea;
Reminders of His love for me;
The shell reminds me of my birth;
The filling of my inner worth;
When life takes a bite out of me;
He refreshes like a cool, mint leaf;
Red raspberries and tangy lemons;
Heavenly treasures too numerous to mention;
Coconut shavings and almond paste;
His delicious gift that I will never waste;
Cinnamon stick and vanilla bean;
Wrapped in golden foil-just for me
