Hazel’s Diary: At three weeks

Ever since heaven smiled on me
With an Angel I hold and rock
My life has been so beautiful,
I wrap my arms around her tight
I stare at her all through the night
I get butterflies when she smiles
Today Hazel is three weeks old.

The dawn arrives when she wakes
Loving care never pumps brakes
For it brings joy side by side
Filling my heart to brim with pride
Hence I let nothing bother my child
There goes my beautiful jewel
Today Hazel is three weeks old.

I keep her safe and count her toes
I slide my fingers down her nose
I kiss her forehead, cheek and lips
I reach out to her when she turns
Throwing her glove fist in the air
The look in her eyes says; I love you
Today Hazel is three weeks old.

I watch her stretch her tenderness
While she yawns in innocence
All she does is suck, sleep and shit
Fourteen slash two, is Valentine’s day
But my love for her is everyday
Standing by her in tears and joy
Today Hazel is three weeks old.
