When I see any baby I smile.
No matter the mood I am in.
Happy or sad, full of energy or tired
My smile muscles work all by themselves
When I look into the eyes of a baby
My heart softens with joy
At the curiousity, trust and unknowing
That shines out from eyes blue or brown
When I hold the tiny, soft hand and feet of a baby
My touch becomes gentle and full of kindness
at this wondrous new softness
that is exploring a world full of hard edges.
When I hear the laughter ~ or crying ~ of a baby
My heart bursts wide with exquisite love
wanting to share laughter or soften the hurt
giving a tiny corner of myself to one tiny life
When I see any baby, I smile.
No matter the mood I am in
Happy or sad, full of energy or tired
I know our world will grow ever more beautiful.
“Every child begins the world again.”
