Baby Girl

Warmth
Against my cheek
New skin, sprouting hair
I feel your heartbeat
Through your soft spot.

Sweet
Scent of lotion
I kiss your forehead,
Tender rose petal
Against chapped lips.

Bright
Summer sky eyes
Sparkle, dance and smile
Radiant with love,
Curly lashes.

Squeals
Grunts and giggles
Tiny melodies
Your cries tug my heart,
I come running.

Sour
Milky kisses,
Butterfly fingers
Tickle my cheeks,
Forever love.
