Baby
Baby, baby, so soft, so sweet
Across my lap you lay, asleep.
I stroke your hair, and rub your skin,
You've no idea the love I'm in.
Baby, baby, my sweet precious son,
Rocking you when the day is done,
Is one thing I know I'll forever miss
When you grow up and out of this bliss.
Baby, my baby, you'll always bring
Light to my eyes, cause my heart to sing.
Hearing you breathe quickens my heart,
Your nose, your eyes, a work of art.
Blessed be the One who's given you to me
My baby, oh baby, you'll always be.
Forever I'll know the smell of your skin,
The scent that I love when I breathe you in.
The touch of your face, smooth as silk,
The smile you give after cuddles and milk,
The sound of your laugh, the wet of your tears,
You are my baby, no matter the years.
I know one day you'll be a man,
But until then, just take my hand,
And together we'll share the world and we'll see
Our love will forever bind you to me.

There's nothing like a sleeping baby. :)

Such a beautiful poem, Adrienne.
ReplyDelete(Just have to add that the captions under the photos reminded me of the book "Green Eggs and
Ham".) :-)
