Sleepless Nights

first sunbeams

on my infant's face

the chair still rocking

    Sleepless nights are what we all owe to our babies. Keep the chair rocking and the mamma rolling while the baby's smiling to the first sunbeams, Charming Charmaine! It's our fate and we love it! Light and Love, Hanitra

    If the reason for sleepless nights is this, then bring it on-- I had a different mindset with just reading your title and then I read your senryu-- and it made me smile, imagining you with beautiful Christina. Beautiful mother and child! Thank you for dropping by my poem, dear Charma! Sending you and the sweet one lots of hugs.

    I can think of no better use of a sleepless night. A lot of feeling conveyed in such few words.

    ‡ Your Beauty Must Be Sooo Very Happy, Sweet Beautiful Charmaine. No Amount In Sleepless Night I Could Imagine Would Compare Unto The Sublime Beauty, Divine, As Gazing Into Your Beautiful Daughters Tiny Precious, Priceless Eyes. Just When Thinks They May Have Known Most Of All There Is To Know About Love, Treasures Pour From The Highest Realms Of Heaven To Caress Our Heart's Anew. Sooo Very Beautiful. As Was Your Your Beauty's Joyful Visit, Thank You Sooo Much. My Love, Forever, Rachel *
