Naji gets a bath. He likes them. --------- -------------- -------------------------- For my baby ~ by Sharon Brennan ~ My baby has fallen asleep. Finally his chest moves up and down. His soft curls at his ear. He smells clean, soapy from his bath. I know him inside out. The creases at his elbow, The plumpness of his cheeks. What makes him coo or cry, Is part of me. He's wrapped just in a towel. That's how he fell asleep and so I left him like that I would not want to wake him Or We would both be up the night And I've only just taught him to sleep - Four hours at a go. It is a precious thing to be needed so, by Such an innocent. Relied on entirely for sustenance, My maternal heart moulds his life, His days. And yet it does get tiresome for I have a daughter to think of too. My baby lies asleep And I am wide awake. Feeling how much I love him. Dreaming of what he will become I hope to drift off soon For in but a moment The alarm clock will sound And it will be time to get My baby up for work. --------- -------------- --------------------------- If you would like to know more about bathing a baby try About.com:Pediatrics.
