Poetry for Cael :)

This brand new life before me
so fragile, dependent,
an alien in my belly no more.
I fell in love on first glance
of tiny toes and nails,
big eyes and hungry cries.
Little sleeper, sighing in my lap,
finally, I am complete.
My love comes in a tiny package
that whails "meh" when unhappy,
slurps his supper with vigor,
blows holes in his diaper when finished,
and sighs contented, asleep in my lap.
My love doesn't care how beautiful I am,
whether my hair is even combed
when I greet him with a smile
in morning or middle of night.
My love cannot express his happiness yet
with a smile that isn't gas,
or coo when he sees me,
or call me by name,
but he is my love all the same.
