Shhhh
~^~
quietly the baby sleeps.
~^~
awake, the mother watches
~wind pulling along the curtains~
it's an airy night
mild.
~*~
soft flannel balled in the fingers of a child
the mother's night gown.
~^~
gently, uncurling the little hand
she cradles her heart near her shoulder.
~^~
the babe's crown is one of love
sweetly the smell of young wafts to the mothers nose
she smiles
and cries.

tried my darnedest on making this not sound sad, because I don't feel like this is sad, but I liked the simple ending- for you my sister.
