Picture of Innocence

That one brown tuff of hair sticking up gray eyes not yet turned Begging for knowledge not yet learned The forehead and thick eyebrows are her fathers As much as her round face and crooked pinky toe is surely her mother's A double chin that holds any spilled food in And the rolls on those chubby legs Funny how genetics are passed from nearest kin That smile can light up a room Such beauty in watching a child bloom *NOTE: For my little niece. Love her to death I had to write something about her. :)
