Ode to my children

When I kiss your little nose

Or pinch your little cherub cheeks

Or tickle all your tiny toes

It makes me smile for days - or weeks! 

Your angel giggle is sublime

And even all your angry wails

Are each in their own way divine 

And cuteness overall prevails

My tiny tots, your little hands

Will always have a place in mine 

I’ll help you navigate these lands 

And we will reminisce, in time 

Once chubbiness has left your cheeks

And baby babbling finds it’s end

I’ll still be smiling on for weeks

When I’m hugging my grown-up friend
