Praise the baby
point out the significant features
and the things you identify
with.
Love the child because her voice is in a bubble
What does it remind you of
when she giggles
after you peek
and boo

Does it give you a feeling
of something that you have known before
Does it remind you of something that it is true
Wherein does the value lay
in recognizing the giddiness
of an attention found child
The infant could know nothing of this

But to surprise a child
is to uncover a hidden giggle box
This baby
overcome
because the funniest thing happened
It was funny how you stretched across her vision
from one side to the other
it was blurry
but it sure seemed like mommy was on the left side
and then the right
Oh Joy!
and surprise
it was, it was!
Mummy again
Warm.

Still tho,
I wonder how you knew this
about the child
