May 2008, dedicated to my niece.
.
Little baby 10 days old
You squirm around in my lap
Frown and smile without reason
Pee and poo without warning
.
Little baby 10 days old
Your feet are soft like petals
The grandmothers and aunts
Hover around you
.
Little baby 10 days old
You fall asleep so easily
Your cries silenced
In your peaceful state
.
Little baby 10 days old
You know nothing at all
And your family
Loves you so much
