Baby

Soft skin,

Like a blanket of silk

Her tiny fingers wrapped around

Everything she sees

Trying to grab, to understand



Eyes filled with wonder,

Curiosity and love

She reaches out to grasp the hand

Of her adoring father

Staring up at him, you see

His heart melt



Her little tufts of hair

Sticking out from everywhere

Her cute button nose

Pink, like a teeny tiny rose



If I could hold this moment forever

If the moments here weren't fleeing

If time didn't pass...

If she didn't grow older by the second...

Who knows what this little angel is thinking

Who knows what's going to happen next?
