Tiny Little Baby

You were fragile and so tiny
Can’t believe you were so little
My perfect son my own baby

Lying in safe arms my baby
Fingers and toes are so tiny
Doll like clothing is so little
     
Next to daddy you are little
Just a premature new baby
Why were you born very tiny

Your fingernails are so tiny
Simple perfection but little
Mummy devoted to baby    

Gorgeous tiny little baby

This makes for a lovely entry in Craig's contest, Jan. Can imagine your tiny baby, a bundle of joy:) /x/ paul ..... [re formatting...have you tried clearing the computer browsing history? or else use CCleaner.]

There is a bit of 'poetic licence' here Paul as he wasn't premature - I found it a real challenge to try this form for the first time. I've had this problem with formatting for about 2 weeks and always been able to reformat straight away with no problem , but today I can't reformat at all.... guess they must be working on it LOL. Hugs as ever Jan xxx
