Our daughter coming to this land <br />Of late age for a child <br />Knows well lessons from her native land, <br />So an offering of cookies to her <br />Helped me understand a great truth missed <br />In the saga of my own - oh, so American development - <br />That the right to a second cookie <br />Is not always a matter of assumption.<br /><br />Bill Grace<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/second-cookie/
