Five very tiny
little fingers wrapped
Around my thumb
The very saddening
Crying came to an end
The contact alone
Soothed
Tears ran from
The tiny bright eyes
Longing
To be held
To be loved
The smile in my heart
Ever-consuming
Sent all my worries
Away
Just hours into this world
The sweet sweet innocent
Looked into my soul
And smiled
PRICELESS
An amazing feeling
To have the acceptance
The sharing
The merging of souls
I can only hope that
This soul will carry
Great strength
Five tiny little fingers
Wrapped around my thumb
Holding tight
Giving me strength
Unburdening my heart
Caressing my soul
Planting in my mind
A memory so rich
