Little baby

Little baby,
look at me.

Light as air you rest
in the crook of my arm.

Little baby
can't you see.

I am here
to protect you from any harm.

Little baby
Your aunt I'll always be.

I'll always love you.
Even when we are apart.

Little baby
I feel your steady beating heart.

Little baby
open your eyes

Look into mine.
The beginning of your journey in time.

Little baby
Peace descends upon me.

I watch you slumber.
As I rock you gently.

I smile at you.
So little and fragile.

A new life.
A miracle.

A week and a day old.
As your story unfolds.

And for one short hour.
You are mine to hold.

Love you precious babe.
