Haiku to My Baby

a farewell love poem to my infant daughter

your petal-soft skin
sweet-scented, feather light breath
resting in my arms

a goodbye too soon
lost to me, in your new world
severed, incomplete

rising on a waft
lighter than a spring-fresh breeze
from new hopes,  new life
 
eyes of blue, so dear
steady gaze that fills my sight
love, seems very near

reflections circling
alighting in brief respite
hover as I sigh
