Sonnet for Bailey

A sonnet for a newborn

When first I looked upon that tiny face

I saw wisdom in your soft countenance.

Your eyes unseeing, looked upon each place

with wonder, resting at her breast entranced.

Curling closely skin to skin, erotic

yet innocent, gentle and calescent.

Soft hands rub your body, feels exotic.

Lights dimmed, soothing glow on skin pearlescent.

Soft breathing, small sighs, cooing sounds of love.

Familiar voices whisper your new name

with reverence. Absorbing eyes above

identify your essence and proclaim.

          A toast to new lilfe! A celebration!

          A tiny miracle of our creation.
