This Silent Smile Speaks

glimpses of those precious eyes and the world that they contain
a million stars ahead with tiny foot steps to reach them all
this beautiful face is full of life and this silent smile speaks
only simple desires here, to be held and touched-loved
hands that reach for the unknown with no fear of this world
no pain or hatred do you know but only the love of a mother
protection is wished but not granted, as you begin to cry
these heartbeats, and tiny gasps of life as you grow and change
don't grow to fast. don't change.
