Contented

Tiny hands reach
towards Mommy
who snuggles
him deeper.

She sings him
a lullaby
full of tender
love and words.

First birthday
cupcakes smooth
his shrill cries
to kind laughs.

Mommy's tired
and hands him
to daddy
who snuggles
him deeper.

Daddy's silly
faces make
him giggle
and clap hands.

One year old
kisses smooth
exhaustion
of mommy,
of daddy,
and they sleep
contented.
