Day 77: Baby Gift for Caleb Isaac

For Caleb Isaac. My very first great-nephew, being birthed as I type this. This is my baby gift. Well, this and the boxes of pre-loved baby stuff we're sending. :-)

Baby Gift
By Great-Aunt Batsheva 2/16/10

Tiny baby
Precious, sweet
Exploring fingers
Toes and feet

Look around
what do you see?
Mama, Dada,
Family

Right now
Your world is very small
And they
Are at your beck and call

There's nothing
That they wouldn't do
To care for
Or to protect you

And when your world
Starts to grow wide
They'll still be there
Right by your side

For one thing
You can be sure of
You have
And are
The gift of love.
