Love and Caring

After sleep, get up.
Baby boy is awake.

The sun says yes.
Wake up.

Call mommy.
She comes.

And hugs him.
Kisses his face.

Washes his legs.
His feet.
His hands.

Brother and sister
And Daddy are
Here too.

Their faces
Are like a house
With lots of smiles.

Piles and piles
Of smiles.

Thank you, jolono. I used to take Spencer's dad fishing, hiking and overnight camping many times when he was just a little fellow around 11. Now Chris is an engineer for the county, married to a lovely lady and with a beautiful child. Esther and I have baby sat him often and just gush over the little fellow. Spencer loves stories with lots of animation and energy from the reader. Glad you like it.
