Mia's Poem

Unbridled innocence -
belly soft, round and unabashed.
two golden starbursts
on the top of your head,
golden joy in an upside down willow
to make me smile
like the fourth of july.
soft baby hands behind your back
to defend your little world
against accusations of spilled milk, smudged walls and keys in the trash;
the long trail of lashes saves you as
they reach their spidery wisps to my soul
uncapping a flood of love that showers your tiny world
without your knowledge.
