Sweet one,
tonight I kissed your face
Soft pink cheeks
Furrowed brow erupting into smiles
In your beeming eyes
a sea of wonder
a fascination of
the here and now
Instant and raw emotions
From moment to moment
I watch you grow before my eyes
a squeal and
random babbling
to anyone who will listen
and we all do.
Tonight I kissed you goodnight
and said ‘I love you’
As I closed the door I heard
‘love you’ back.
I love you, dear one.
May you always have your playful excitement for life and sweet snuggles – the world needs more of you.
