Little Hearts
Little hearts soft cast in gold
With eyes of azure blue
Smiles so lovely to behold
With tears as morning dew
Dainty hands like buds unfurled
Reach out to touch your lips
Shell-styled ears yet softly whorled
And tiny finger tips
Soft and tender in your arms
And warm as summertime
Set with sweet and endless charms
Endearing and sublime
They gurgle, chuckle, pout and cry
Throughout each passing day
Joyful in their cots they lie
To ease the time away
They, the future of this earth
Bring hope for everyone
Celebrate each baby`s birth
Each daughter and each son
Little hearts yet meek and mild
So innocent and pure
O to live life as a child
Who`er could ask for more

beautiful and enchanting..love this one.. :)
Absolutely lovely. Goes to the core. Could feel the rhythm and purity, as well, of this timeless piece.
Meticulously depictive and as popetically warming as freshly baked bread...I am sure that I have said this before, but I feel compelled to reiterate the fact that you have a darting penchant for structure/metre, which as you know sets the stage for your work to be read as you would recite it... Superb write, young lady! ~FjR~
Another wonderful poem from a wonder-filled writer!
Lovely poem, children are angels in disguise.
So cute. Loved the subject-matter and the style of writing as well.
hi valerie, this whipped away the years for me back to my first looks at the tiny little souls id just made...lovely
A treat to read on the truths of children and the pleasure we get from new born babies and you delicately paint the pictures of them so sweet...luvli...regards
This gentle write is a perfect representation of new borns, their dependece on our love, our future.
You somehow captured the magic and essense of birth
and parenthood with this poem. Feel it write it. Perfect.
