This is not the usual sonnet, instead of 10 syllables I used a 12 syllable count throughout, with the first and third lines being repeated at the end. Perhaps my next contest :)
Grasping onto the tip of my index finger
Through her comforting warmth, I can feel her heartbeat
Emerald green stares back at me- heart thumps linger
Adorableness overload...and so petite
At that moment, the beauty of "Life" lifts my hair
Goosebumps galore cover me, like sand on a beach
Is soft, her breath- like feathers kissing in mid-air
So meek her nose, fingers and toes...her skin so peach
Her one syllable sounds are music to my heart
Her movements flatter my soul like angels with wings
Yet, cute is the sound of her "Surprise little "Fart"
So grateful I am, Lord- for the joy that she brings
Grasping onto the tip of my index finger
Emerald green stares back at me- heart thumps linger
