Azure Eyes
With chubby little cheeks and azure eyes
the baby wanders in and out of sleep,
staring up with a look of feigned surprise.
He can't rest no matter how hard he tries,
sucking his thumb, not uttering a peep;
with chubby little 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 little cheeks and azure eyes.
He settles down as soon as Mom arrives;
as if he just awoke from counting sheep,
staring up with a look of feigned surprise.
Like a devil in an angel's disguise,
he twists his blankets in a tangled heap.
With chubby little cheeks and azure eyes,
staring up with a look of feigned surprise.
