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!
Thank you very much for your positive constructive criticism, Rob. I too like the repetition of those lines throughout the series. They are a wake up call reminding us how fast time goes by!
