Sleepy Gracie

Many things about you 
Make the tenderest 
Parts of me sigh
The way your feet
So tiny curl and spoon
Each other when you sleep
Just as they did almost
Four years ago as you
Tossed in my womb
As if when your mind
Is unconscious of the world
It returns to the safest 
Place and reminds your
Sweet perfect little body
In it's primal position
To snuggle up in the safety
Of the one who made you
