Lovely In Pink

A newborn’s toes wiggle like candy pink
Curled by rose petals, more fresh than morn’s scent
Flinging those buds, I trace her blossoms.

Pastel from the wink of sunlight’s blossoms
She chuckles as tiny feet gush in pink,
While the hammock billows a fruity scent.

In quick of naps,ten toes waft talcum scent
Till chuckles burst forth from jiggling blossoms,
My grandchild, my rose; graced by daytime's pink.

Lovely pink charmer wakes scent of blossoms!

Wouldn't it be lovely, no matter the creed, that an Angel would recite your wonderful words for every newborn. Simply adorable poetry 'Princess' <*> James :)

Absolutely beautiful! Oh the sweet smells of a baby, and being able to giggle just because your realize your toes wiggle. Makes me long for the times when mine were tiny.
