My dear precious child….
But, for the life of me
I do not know how anything could be more beautiful
than the sight of you asleep
With your chubby, cherub cheeks
in shades of rose and pink
You've been bundled in a flannel gown
in tiny roses I have found
A soft cocoon will keep you warm
Your tiny fingers wrap around
……. my own
I hold you tight against my breast
Your breath will catch my heart
I have given it thought,
and have decided that nothing of beauty could compare,...
No sunrise, no sunset,
no flowering garden, or forest of trees,
no sonnet or melody, no fragrant spring breeze,
I would,… if I could, ….paint this precious moment,
and frame it,....
to hang in the confines of my heart,....
to keep you from ever
growing older
