Everyday All Day

Daily prompt -1815: What snack would you eat right now?

Sweet and gelatinous. This what we lovingly call jelly coconut in my island nation. Give me this everyday – all day. Spring, summer, winter or fall- I can never get enough of her. Why genderize as a female? Well, she is soft and tender. Her silky and smooth feel calms the inner you in those difficult times. She nourishes and satisfies like a mother. Her versatility takes her places – she fits in quite well at many tables.

I grew up with this tree in my back yard. I never truly appreciated this until I no longer had access to it for free. Now I have to get it boxed with chemicals and even added sugar. Like the old song says, ‘ You never know a good thing ’til it’s gone.’ On a day like today give me coconut jelly. Take me back to that place that feels like home – everyday all day.
