Baby
Lying in bed,
Covered in thoughts overwhelming-
Long day at work,
Never seems to end-
Paycheck week,
Paying the bills.
Playing tea house dolly with the little one.
Infant cradled in arm strength hands,
Singing "Goo Goo songs" in silliness.
Baseball games,
Soccer tournaments,
Football season,
Moment for every sport under the sun.
Trips to the beach,
Spending time with love ones,
Yet wondering muse,
From job,
To what walked by.
Lying now under the night air sky,
Pondering on a job well done.
Two lie beneath blanket warmth,
Only for the twilight coldness settling in hearts,
He fast in sleep thinking good came from the day,
While baby next to him,
Weep silent breath.
Long gone cuddling came to an end,
"Rock away & BYE baby blues"-
