My April girl... impromptu poetry

April baby
Soft and sweet
Elegant fingers,
Long pink feet

Rest where you are
I'll be here when you stir
Your life's a whirlwind
that's passing in a blur

Apricot cheeks
on my April girl
Blueberry eyes
that blink at the world

With lips curled and taught
you scream so strong
With lips soft and round,
You coo your April song

April baby, my April girl
you're the sun that springtime brings

Katie, this is so incredible! I LOVE it!

You have to scrapbook this.

(on a side note, I called X's eyes "blueberry eyes" too!)

Wow- to think your creative juices are flowing even when you're short on sleep! Of course- you have such inspiration with that precious babe.

"April Baby"- needs to be put to music!

Love
Mom
