A Baby Is a Bundle

A baby is a bundle of jangling receptors
    a limb-wiggling curiosity machine
  Equipped to record and retain every sensation
    with nodes and neurons labyrinthine

  We watch her nap and feed
    pray she gets the sleep she needs
  While deep inside her, a learning explosion
    moves mighty mountains, fills vast oceans

Marikate Kingston Date: 3/24/2023 7:50:00 PM As a mother of three, I find this beautiful. Your line,"pray she gets the sleep she needs" could come before, pray mommy does too. "a learning explosion" what a great way to describe what goes on over and over in a young brain and hopefully as that brain ages too. One can always have small explosions. What a nice poem Gershon.
