Despite broken sleep,
I smile- fresh baked cookies cure
a range of ailments.

In the shady glade,
one could find a nap place-warm
summer afternoon.

As July burns out,
we enjoy fruits of summer-
sun warmed blackberries.

Seems like the washing
machine is constantly on-
meanwhile baby sleeps.

How could my feet have
ever been this small? Babies
make us nostalgic.

Summer day dawns, I’m

When the sun set, I
used to anticipate sleep-
my baby changed that.

Day, night blur, endless
feeding, burping, and changing-

Is it sunset or
sunrise? New parents must stop
