MY BABY

Ten fingers and ten toes,

Beautiful eyes, a button nose.

-

A cooing yawn and soft cry,

Searching lips, wet nose to dry.

-

Wobbly legs and eager kicking,

Time needs to pause here, stop the ticking.

-

Temper tantrums and shouting,

Bottom lip jutting out, adorable pouting.

-

Off to school and make me worry,

Comes home, to the room you scurry.

-

No more family game night and movies,

A date awaits, I sit watching my little beauty.

-

Car keys and curfews,

Old stuffed animals, new perfumes.

-

Wedding bells and white dress,

Makes me feel older, the groom's impressed.

-

Baby toys and something new,

I now know I should hand to you.

-

You're older and such a fine lady,

But never forget, you're always my baby.
