Small One

For a contest - based on the picture shown here.

 

Defenseless and small

Protected and loved to grow

Mighty hands feel safe

 

On your own one day

For now mine to love and hold

Safe next to my heart

Awww, this was just so sweet. I loved the way you wrote this. You realize that one day this child will leave the nest, but for now you seek to treasure those moments that you have the baby as yours and not share him or her with this cruel world. This was so beautiful. Great work!-Catrina

Very sweet and touching. Short yet intensely personal and emotional. Well done.

Yes, your words do much justice to this pic. but, since it's for a contest, I gotta point out a typo: On youR own one day.
I really like this piece, it brought the pic to life. Good luck!!
