A Little Life

A Little Life

So small,
delicate,
a squirming
bundle of joy.
The noises,
bright and
meaningless,
vibrate from
person to
person,
smiles
sprouting
from their
mouths,
warm lilies
grown from
love and care.
There's
nothing
quite like
holding a
little life,
as life
only remains
little for so
long,
before it
blossoms
into a fully
grown person,
spreading it's
petals to the
other flora,
and, eventually,
the occasionally
bee,
searching for
some honey
to call it's own.
So treasure
this time
while it lasts,
as life waits
for no one.
