The Late Bloomer Baby Boomer - 1

Life begins...
Mother's eyes searching
For his true essence
Cries are hushed
By lullaby
Her sweet smile
Envelops him
With a soft kiss
Baby's eyes close
Falling asleep

Days turn into weeks...
And weeks into months...
And months into years

Arn't the last three lines so true! I like how they repeat in the later poems in this series!
