If she smiles I’ll be happy

Hours pass in a moment

Pure satisfaction

Layers are stacked

icing is spread

realization

toy dinosaurs on the cake she said

Unfounded guilt

if only I had money

I could make her smile

A last resort

Coloured paper and a google search

3 failed attempts

2 successes

Brontosaurus stands tall

brown paper creases

She will have dinosaurs
