Azure Eyes
With chubby, rosy cheeks and azure eyes;
my baby drifts into and out of sleep,
staring up with a look of feigned surprise.
He can't sleep no matter how hard he tries;
sucking his thumb, not uttering a peep,
with chubby, rosy cheeks and azure eyes.
He holds my finger like a hard-won prize;
a trophy he is determined to keep,
staring up with a look of feigned surprise.
His need for attention soon turns to cries;
and breaking into tears, he starts to weep,
with chubby, rosy cheeks and azure eyes.
He settles down as soon as Mom arrives;
as though he just awoke from counting sheep,
staring up with a look of feigned surprise.
Like a Devil in an Angel's disguise,
he leaves his blankets in a tangled heap.
With chubby, rosy cheeks and azure eyes;
staring up with a look of feigned surprise.
