Smiling Sonnet.

Goldfinch60



There we were in the coffee shop,

Just the two of us Mary and me,

We chatted away like we’d never stop,

When in they came a baby and he.

 

The dad got the baby out of the pram,

And the smile that lit up her face

Hit me with a beautiful slam,

A wonder to see in our favourite place.

 

He put her in a baby seat

And brought food and drink,

The baby smiled and ate some cake,

This wonder of new life made me think.

 

The smile that baby girl gave to all

Would make the day of one and all.

    There is something very special about babies when they smile maybe because they have no regrets no worries no grief and no memories of yet, and we as adults even though it's not our first thought it makes us warm inside. 🌹

      So very true Teddy, complete innocence within them shows through their smiles.
