A Poem for Baby's 10 Month Birthday

April is National Poetry Month and the month of the Poem a Day Challenge, and I'm celebrating by writing poems in my head while I nurse Baby in the middle of the night!
You,unknowing yet wise,diminutive yet full of heart,have done for mewhat I have spent a lifetimetrying to do for myself.
You've lassoed time,drawn it in,and placed it in a bubbleof peace and contentment,fixed in place,neither rolling back to the pastor forward to the future.
You have given methe gift of the present,where I'm now suspendedwith you -the past no longera prickly burrholding me back,and the future no longerthe impetus of my daily life.
Thanks to you,the presentis all I need,as long as I sitin this bubblewith you.
Happy 10 Month Birthday, Baby!
