Shhh my heart, and
Shhh my mind.
You are too tired, and
You are too full.
Oh little tears, and
Oh little smiles.
You slide in, and
You slide out
A little too quickly.
Anxious heart, and
Anxious mind.
You cannot hold, and
You cannot control.
Oh little girl, and
Oh little sweet
You grow up, and
You grow the same.
A little too much like me.
Shhh my child, and
Shhh my girl.
You come to me, and
You come with me.
Oh little hands, and
Oh little feet
You fit perfectly, and
You fit sweetly.
Oh, so sweetly.
