Holding Her

She’ll curl up and doze anywhere you lay her down-

The crib, her seat, the swing.

But it’s too hard to resist the temptation to scoop her immediately back up in to your arms,

And she’s too beautiful,too warm, to put back down.

Sleepiest little one.

Counting her lashes, tracing her cheek with your finger, watching her sleep.

In this fog of newness you can’t quite recall how your days were spent before her,

Only that every moment of now leaves you perfectly content.
