blue eyes shining
smile at cousin jumping blond curls bouncing
and giggles escape seven month mouth
with two sharp teeth growing
she sucks on pickles or watermelon
always holding with right hand
left is used for balance while she bounces on lap
and tests her voice for all the different noises it can make
for life teaches life and we can only watch
sometimes how the sparks behind those eyes
line up and map the future
