I refrain from running out to her
And squeezing her in my arms,
Of gently pressing her feet so tender
Of kissing her on and on...
Her chubby dimpled cheeks pick a random smile,
The angels and the little fairies dance for a mile,
for when she says "mamma" in her fumbled squeaky voice,
It leaves me floored and I refrain again from eating her like a pie....
Her soft hands find my lips
and I refrain to devour ,
Those rosy lips, and curly hair
That smell of sweet and sour...
My little precious talks and walks but only barely,
She stumbles and drops and falls more clumsily!
Written for Imaginary Garden With Real Toads prompt 'Refrain'

I DON'T Have a daughter though... Its just something my mother used to say which I put in rhymes! ;)

ReplyDeleteI like to play with language. I am sure I mixed some different dialects and even periods. But it sounded good ;)
It is true about just wanting to 'eat up' little ones. Being both a mama and a grama. There is just something so precious about the child you can pick up, swing and make smile with a smile of your own.
