marshmallow

I may be soft

Hearted and such

I give my all

I’m in your clutch

Soft and mushy

Tender squishy

Always I’m there

Wanting and waiting

For you to care

A snow-white canvas

For you to paint

I yield I bend

Ooey gooey

Such a delight

You want a taste?

C’mon take a bite

Perhaps I’m plain

Oh, please explain

Why you don’t come around

Quit treating me like background

See me for me

Open your eyes

Don’t be shallow

Says the marshmallow
