Candy in a Pocket

Baby-hood is sunflowers, water-painted,

because Daddys love yellow.

Big Eyes never stop staring,

when they see you miss your father.

 

Baby-hood is candy in a pocket.

Big teeth have a soft voice,

when they kiss your cheek gently,

and beg you to stop crying.

 

Baby-hood is a rocking chair,

and you feel the to, and fro.

Big hands fit in the smallest places,

when the wolf slobbers over your baby-hood.
