Kelley

Baby Days

Gone.
Those mini hands
And bitty toes
Have grown,
Big.
A toothy smile
Grins,
Out shouts
A big belly
Laugh.
You run
And jump,
Throw your shoes,
Far.
Sleeping now,
A spring evening
Rolls into
Your second summer.
And I rock you still,
With feet dangling
An arm wedged
Around
Me.
How long
Will you be
My baby?
