The Sweetest Things

burblings of dadadadadada and eee eee eee
soft baby kisses
that little face
smiling eyes
busy legs
pointing arms and fingers
two tiny bottom teeth
kicking, standing feet
kissable cheeks
splashing hands
hand that reach for me and grasp at my legs and clothing and necklaces
downy ears that feel like Christmas against my lips
such concentration
such determination
a whole person
there you are
a revelation of your very own
