Baby Girl. Poem by J.A McManus

Ten fragile, fidgety fingers
Ten tiny, ticklish toes
A pair of beautiful pink lips
Below a cute, button nose.

A head full of dark, downy hair
A mind so unspoiled and young
A smile that always spreads such warmth
Like the shining, summer sun.

A stare full of such quiet awe
A soul so untamed and new
A set of eyes, like rare diamonds
That sparkle so bright and blue.

A heart full of instinctive love
That makes my own swell and swirl
An angel sent within the guise
Of a gorgeous, baby girl.
