Jenny in the Morning

~

Warm little body crawling in my bed

Smells of sleep, sounds of giggles filling up my head

Tugs on my eyelids and whispers in my ear

"Ready to eat, mommy", tells me Jenny's near.

Little feet move quicker now, she's going up the hall

The sound of tiny fingers dragging on the wall

Pulling on my housecoat, I hear her laughter ring

The sound of her makes me smile.

Jenny in the Morning

~

Hair caught up in pony tails and overalls of blue

Endless streams of chatter have replaced those baby coos

Walking and hopping, it's all delightful play

"Can you do this, mommy?" oh, how she makes my day.

Then after lunch, there's the walk around the yard

"Kiss the flowers, mommy" ~ to love you isn't hard

Seeing things I took for granted, now in a different way

Looking through the eyes of a child

Jenny in the Noonday

~

Soaped up and squirmy, playing in the tub

Getting bubbles in your nose, as your face I scrub

Noticing how much you've grown and how the time has past

Oh my darling Jenny, you're growing up too fast.

The daylight is fading now, approaching is the dark

Two precious little arms are wrapped around my heart

Your head warm on my shoulder, your little eyes closed tight

You're teaching me what love is

Jenny in the Night
