Bubble

We began in a sac

sticky told me you were there

my hands got to shaking

one swing of the lever

switched onto a different track

we jiggled and giggled

danced away the blues

you dropped in my lap

I swaddled you in my love

you wriggled little hands free

frantically I tucked them back in

facing devastating headwinds

plodding along in a snowstorm

thank heavens

we are safe, finally

warm and toasty by the fireplace

you crawl from wrappings

babbling away at all you see

I blew a bubble

and in we went

happy as clams

singing wheels on the bus

as we lifted higher

nestled in the basket beneath

basking in golden hues at dusk

floating above bad weather

getting closer to the moon

can’t wait to see you

take a bite out of big cheese
