perfect moments


With eyes sparking and a giggle, she comes bounding towards me
Leaps and wraps her chubby little arms around my neck
Squeezing tightly,
Her whole body tenses
Relaxes
and then she laughs

Her hair smells of sweat and innocence
I shower kisses on her already pink cheeks
She smiles and just as quickly
Sqirms and lets go
to attack yet another with her unconditional love

When she tires
We sit on the swing
I hum
as she sleeps
