For Caroline
How does your heart remember to beat?
Look at your fingers, so tiny and neat
Red puffy eyes and soft baby skin
New little life all set to begin.
Sleep when you can, and cry when you need
Try to look round, and take a good feed
Awake in the night, we try not to complain
We just want to make you happy again
There are people to meet, there are things to be done
But just being with you is so much more fun.
And so I've nothing better to do
Than sit here and wonder at you.
Bradypus, who has a 2 day old daughter!
