Light footsteps
Creak of a door
Hear the whispered echoes
As she moves across the floor

Ten teeny fingers
And ten tiny toes
With a heart as big
As only heaven knows

A little cry
A little shout
And tiny perfection’s
Wearing a pout

She looks down
Strokes the crown
But tiny perfection’s
Still bearing that frown

Leaning over
She scoops up the child
Rocking and cooing
Until tiny perfection smiled
