Blank, clean, pure,
Custom made, mint condition,
Starting over or only just beginning?
Crying, mewling, cooing,
The sound of unfathomable inexperience,
Of discontent, lacking any knowledge of comfort
A question linked to an incomprehensible answer
Worried mutters, peaceful shushes, stunned silence,
Smiles won by a successful pass of the baton,
Power and responsibility flips,
As the world flips with it
Upside down.
Rest, breathe, sleep,
The heavenly cerulean light hides beneath bruised, pink lids,
A smug and reassuring smile is shared
Before a family relents to fatigue.
