A poem from Poppy

Filed under:Kids — posted by mystique on 5/31/2005 @ 10:12 am

do you know?

your gaze is almost all-knowing
yet you’re barely six months old
what do you know?
why do you smile?

it’s as if you see in my soul
how much i love you
how much i will love you
how much you mean to my life

i look over
you smile
then return to fitting your fist in your mouth
how did you know?

is it something inside
that tells you the right time
when we need to see a smile
when your laugh touches us the most

you can’t understand it all
but you do.
