Tziporah

Six little pounds of innocence
Curled up on my chest
Brave heart, translucent eyelids
Prepared for your earthly test.

Six little pounds of glory
Downy hair that glows
Valentine baby, do you recall
Heaven as you doze?

Six little pounds of wisdom
Searching eyes that see
Through the veil, through angels
Into eternity.

Six little pounds of promise
Slender fingers, peaceful soul
Messenger of our Father's love
Baby, you made us whole.

So sweet! Babies must bring out poetry- because every time I hold my baby I think of writing a poem for him! Everything is so true. Newborns are just heavenly!!
