You are so beautiful

Perhaps even more today

A disturbed sleep began a cry

Only be silenced when I arrive

-

I still carry you like before

Only not as much as I want to

You grunt in request to be put down

To watch funny ads with funny sounds

-

A close and open master now

Eyes observe whatever is done

Then mimic like it's all fun

Never do I know how you learned to clap hands

-

Roll and twist to move about

Trying to crawl and little push-ups!

Play and enjoy punching out

Little toys to chew and stuffed

-

You grew longer now

Heavier, yet not less fragile

Stay like this a little longer

Stay as a baby, a little while

-

A little more of a pungent scent

Soiled diapers, heavier than its meant

Like perfume that I miss every minute

Something I go by when I am at work

-

Brushed little gums of pinkish red

Able now to do little chews of baby biscuits

I love how you try everything to taste

Then frown or be wide-eyed enjoying with haste

-

Twice you are to be bathed

Vitamins you giggle as you intake

Liquid medicines for little temperaments

Never wondering how we've become worrysome parents

-

Over the pale light, you sleep tonight

I wish I could brush your hair with my hands

I wish I could lay beside you now

Rather, I wish to be beside you forever somehow.
