Snuffly noses
Crying out and struggling
Helpless little babe
*
Reaching, pleading arms
Rise up from shadowed crib walls
Desiring comfort
*
I can't ignore long
No matter my weariness
And rock him to sleep
* * *
Sick kids are never fun, my own son's been crying steady since he awoke early this morning and has only just fallen asleep. No matter all the intricate and detailed plans I may have formulated for today, I doubt I'll get much of it done. No matter. Some things are more important.
