A little delicate miracle
Moving, giggling, laughing
Its little fingers
Rise in the air
To catch the unknown
To feel the intangible
Its little curious eyes roll
And glow sometimes
As if he had seen
The invisible
Pretty little smiles
Appear on his face
As if an angel
Has descended to cuddle
Its soft body
In its divine embrace
----------------
O my little angel
How cute you look!
How pretty, how innocent
Those looks are!
You cannot see me
So what’s that which makes you
Smile? Stretch your little arms?
Giggle as if you have seen
A wonder?
How I long for your warm breath
How I miss your sweet voice
Yet all that I can have
Is these cherished moments
Of sorrow and joy
Bestowed on my by the
Almighty
To imagine I can hear the sweet
Melodies of your voice
To imagine I can feel the soft petals
Of your face
And wet them with my dewy tears
To imagine I can sing lullabies
For you to take you into dreams
Where you can know
That there is someone here
Who sees, who cares, who loves…

ah your angel looks so beautiful with her little arms and sweet voice. Instead of reading, I felt your poem. I’m too young to understand how it feels to lose a baby child (and I hope no one know that). Hopefully this is just a poem and your little angel is with you.
Wish you and your family peace!

Tender and touching
Lovely work. This is the way I felt about my children. To me they were miracles that fascinated me endlessly. You write with a compassionate heart and sense of the divine.
Just elegant!

This is really beautiful, but I sensed so much sadness in it as well. As someone who has lost a child, I can relate to so much of this...

Sometimes the closest thing we have to hope is our imagination. Whatever your circumstances and wherever within you this write came from, I wish you joy and peace, and thank you for sharing.
Best wishes,

This is beautiful, very sweet with wonderful imagery. I love the background, there's nothing more precious than a sleeping babe. Thank you for the entry in my contest.
