Wide Eyed Smiles

Wide Eyed Smiles Children falling through the atmosphere Dropped by storks or other forces way out there Seem to always have wide eyes and smiles Dropping in from many baby making miles They are beaming with expectations For birthday presents at their new locations And obviously, a safe landing site would be nice Since they have no experience at flight Though not too coordinated at this time They keep their falling out of mind They watch everything because it’s new And they want to make it through First impressions are important coming from above With expressions of their love Parachutes close upon their drop Babies caught in a glove by mom and pop Wide eyed and smiles all around We’re so happy they didn't hit the ground 9/22/14 Eccentricize My Eyes – Poetry Contest
