Piece of Me (A Long Haiku)
Hold you against me
Closing my eyes to your breath
Small life in my arms
One half piece of me in you
Swallowed up by sleep
You are safe from the outside
Baby, be at peace
I would die to keep you safe
Hold you against me
Closing my eyes to your breath
Small life in my arms
One half piece of me in you
Swallowed up by sleep
You are safe from the outside
Baby, be at peace
I would die to keep you safe

Another good poem inspired by her, I can’t believe she’s gotten so big since that picture! 🙂

Growing up too fast. If I can bottle up this moment where she is this small & keep this moment alive forever…I suppose that’s what photos and poetry is for. 🙂
