A Mother's Kiss

A Mother's Kiss

Ten little fingers and ten miniature toes;
	Two tiny ears, one cute itty-bitty nose.

Eyes wide open at the wonders of the world;
	It don't matter if its a boy or girl.

A round bantam belly, a petite toothless grin;
	Just hints of dimples on each side of the chin.

A cry that pierces the silence of the night;
	But a smile that makes it all just right.

A diminutive giggle that dissolves problems away;
	A bundle of love and joy - to hold all day.

A wisp of hair on a soft, round head;
	And stuffed animals to keep company whist in bed.

Her child held close to her breast;
	A Mother's love will never cease nor rest.
	
And with one kiss on the forehead that first day;
	All the discomfort, the pain, the agony - goes away.
