The Baby Came

by Joan Serratelli

The baby came into the world
pink and precious
looking like a rosebud
ready to be loved

Her cries were soft
her demands were few
A pretty little flower
had made her debut

The flower florished
wanting only to be cared for
never asking for much
always patient to a fault

My sweet little child
you're all grown up
still pink, still precious
still waiting your turn

You'll never realize
how much you've given
how much you've taught me
the meaning of love.

Author's Note: This is the second of the trilogy about my children. it's about my middle child, who has grown into a lovely, loving young woman.

Such a contrast to your first in the trilogy. You have created a whole different feel in this one - something a good writer can do.
