We do not write because we want to; we write because we have to. W.Somerset Maugham

Essence of Baby

it starts with a sigh on a heart beat
a whisper in the wind
telling all the world
of the joy which you behold
breathe deeply, inhale the baby essence,
expands a heart with love
nestled in my arms
innocence and purity, eyes that fill with glee
tiny fingers grasp, warm and soft and sweet
powdery-soft cheek nestled against my own
breathe deeply, inhale the baby essence,
calms a mother’s soul
chubby little legs, churn with candid joy
gurgling; giggling; chuckling.
ribbons of love entwine
spiralling out, seeking, touching
breathe deeply; inhale the baby essence,
soothes a savage beast
laughter bubbles merrily along
the river of tears they flow, of
cherished memories good and bad
through shimmering hands of time
breathe deeply; inhale the baby essence,
which makes a life complete
