Safe Haven

She closed her eyes

And drifted,

Snug,

Through the safe haven

Of warm arms,

And dreamed of

Milk

And coos

And sun,

And all the smiles

That feed

Her heart

And mind.

Toe in Tow

Lost Sock ArletteLoeser

There’s a little

Big toe

Twirling free

On the go,

As the other

In tow

Hopes its own

Sock

To throw.

Crawl Space

Little arms

Little feet

Conquering sand

Waves to meet.

Breathing space

For a crawl

The expanse

Would not stall.

Cute Quartet

Goslings PhilipCoons

Not much is cuter

Than a quartet of gosling fluff

With one beak

Staring toward ya

And the rest facing aft.

Held afloat

You safely hover

Over a pebbled

Burbling stream,

As you reach

To touch

The shimmer

And delight

In your smile beams.

The soft brown curls

Sweetly turned back

Away from images

She’ll track

As she grows older

And discovers

Mirrored reflections

Of her self

And others.

I can play in the tent

I can play with these balls

But to have you play with me

Is what I want most of all!

Not So Hidden

Grandpa you can’t

See me hidden

In my batman cave,

But try to find me:

There’s a world

To save.

Baby Seated

In the shade

Out of sun

I am still

Having fun.

Even these

Stubborn bubbles

Will stop

Giving me troubles.

I’ll persist

And resume

Turning a chair

To a play room.

Come on Daddy, let’s pack

Some more rocks on your back

This way you will discover

All the treats I uncover

Also bugs and some leaves

Gifts for Mommy to retrieve.
