Beauty Defined

What is beauty?
Can I sing to it? 
Can I bathe it in
Honeydew lotion
and read it ancient
love poems
as it fights the 
gravity of sleep?
Can I feed it
pureed applesauce 
and wipe its 
dripping face clean?
Can I hold it in my arms
and feel the weight
of infinite potentials
I will carry on my 
shoulders until it
finds place for them 
on its own?
Can I grasp it
in the enchanting 
gaze of a 
Beautiful newborn?
