Azure Eyes
With her chubby pink cheeks and azure eyes,
my baby girl drifts in and out of sleep,
feigning a quizzical look of surprise.
She can't sleep, no matter how hard he tries:
sucking her thumb, not uttering a peep,
with her chubby pink cheeks and azure eyes.
She holds my finger like a hard-won prize;
a trophy she is determined to keep,
feigning a quizzical look of surprise.
Her squeals for attention soon turn to cries:
and breaking into tears, she starts to weep,
with her chubby pink cheeks and azure eyes.
She settles down as soon as Mom arrives:
as if she just awoke from counting sheep,
feigning a quizzical look of surprise.
She's like a little Devil in disguise.
leaving her blankets in a tangled heap:
with her chubby pink cheeks and azure eyes,
feigning a quizzical look of surprise.
