Tender

Sweet

Still without teeth

You are as soft

As a clean bedsheet

Skin unblemished

Eyes so bright

You embody the innocence of life

You are fragile

So easy to break

Your body is small and delicate

I love your smile

Your laugh and gurgle

Lips so pink they seem to sparkle

You crawl and cry

I sing lullabies

You sleep so quiet

I watch in silence

You do not suffer like the rest of us

Even the life you live is

Soft
