There were times I was as comforted as they were just holding, rocking, and smelling their warm scent with their heads tucked just perfectly under my chin.

I love the line: "One more sweet sniff; protective angels alight." You made me smell and feel the activity in this poem.

Li...Hi Linda....Here's a quickie poem for you:<br /><br />Little daughter, so sweet and new, my heart literally aches with love for you. <br /><br />Out of the tubbie, so clean and so sweet; wrap you so gently, from head to tiny feet. <br /><br />Now you are sleepy,I sniff your soft curls. You smell like a flower, with petals unfurled. <br /><br />Flower smelling lotion, I gently apply, Then nuzzle your tender neck, and kiss away your cry. <br /><br />My little rose blossom, my tender, loving doll.<br />I breathe in your sweetness, as nightime now falls. <br /><br />I kiss your tender cheek, and tell you goodnight.<br />One more sweet sniff, protective angels alight.<br /><br />Gentle dreams darling baby!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12358462881287190635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145825647751945760.post-6858248754202226632010-09-30T07:41:21.860-05:002010-09-30T07:41:21.860-05:00Hi, Linda, I am back...mountains of laundry and fa...Hi, Linda, I am back...mountains of laundry and family issues, but at least I am sleeping in my own bed. <br /><br />My first son had a unique skin smell...musky...like my Cherokee blooded Granny under her talcum powder smell. It was a distintive smell that make me think of earth, musk, outside air maybe. It was hard to describe but I never smelled it on the second baby.Bookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12043111213031211794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145825647751945760.post-17678471112735882622010-09-30T06:54:00.903-05:002010-09-30T06:54:00.903-05:00Just after the nerve-fraying moments of bathing a...Just after the nerve-fraying moments of bathing a new baby, when you cuddle that darling little one against your body, and breathe in the scent of clean soft skin liberally sprinkled with talc...ahhhhhh.
