did you think

baby thoughts,
baby head
laying in a
baby bed;
did you think the night was dark,
did you think the first sun bright,
did you think it worth the
wait?

baby wonder,
baby awe
at all the things
baby saw;
windows wide,
leaves on wall,
mama soft
and dada tall,
did you think that it was good,
the start of something great?

baby safe
baby sound,
in this place
that baby found;
kisses soft and gentle touch,
did you think you'd be loved
so much?
