Plumed Soft, Tis the Babes Head Rapture of pink, in scented cheek Gracing all with winking sight To open the love lights, new In glorious vision of birth Staging shows, for those to laugh Singing songs learned stuttering Laughing the belly laugh, of tickle Finding new facial expressions, days Of staring and mimicking the close Riding bikes, swimming high seas Still you ran to me, scraped, hurt I bandaged the pain, kissing heart I made the boogeyman run away, scared Still my pillow shared, your head And now your little books lie sacred I read them once in a while, touching That part of my fairy tale, pinned To my heart, my soul, tamed with love Even as you waltz, in my shoes, dating I would still let you dance on my feet. |

a wonderfully tender and lovely write. Quite expressive in the emotions and as hard as it is at times to let them grow and go..we all know it is as it must be...still we would let them dance on the tops of our feet... very nicely done |
