A Day in the life of a Child

Cheeks dimpling
Two eyes gleam
Lips parting.
Baby's smiling.

Nose crinkling
Red mouth curls
Eyes are twinkling.
Baby's clowning.

Toes gripping
Two knees bend.
Feet are moving,
Baby's walking.

Mind wandering,
Gaze intense,
Brow is puckering,
Baby's 'pottying'

Lips smacking,
Two jaws race,
Cheeks are bulging,
Baby's eating.

Head bobbing,
Fingers twirl,
Knees are knocking,
Baby's dancing.

Eyes closing,
Two hands still.
Senses dozing,
Ssssh - Baby's sleeping.
