Angel

I miss knocking on your front door
To have you open it ajar
As I stand in the doorway
I see my lil' princess in her cot
Not feeding nor slumbering
But standing firm on both tiny legs
Eyes wide with wonder and amazement
At the new stranger at the doorway
As she stares on intently
Her tiny frame bursts with excitement
"Here comes my new playmate!"
She must have mused in her mind
She breaks into her mischevious wide smile
Displaying her newly grown set of baby teeth
And almost simultaneously she chuckles hilariously
"Come play with me", she seems to say
As she stretches forth her tiny hands
And utters in clear diction
"Pau pau" (Hug hug)

I miss my lil' angel
