Baby's Fright

Babies bright,
blue-eyed mites,
all parents see your beauty.
Innocence, most precious gift,
soon becomes a hurdle.

'Babies' light
fades at night,
some adults beget this loss.
Explicitness, brings no bliss,
causing blood to puddle.

"Baby's" fright
collapsed in blight,
vision marred by hardened hand.
Experience, imprisoned id,
a being�s soul has curdled.

I may be wrong too, but sounds like some abuse here
hardened hand...id will never be known?
Take care Erin......

Erin maybe I am reading this wrong...but this sounds sad...like perhaps there was a loss...the blood could mean birth or loss of birth..I am very tired tonight so I may be reading this wrong but it is lovely either way...your lines are beautiful...floria

Well penned, this fragile balance of a new life awaiting
direction. I felt the joy of new life and the heartbreak
of new life broken.

Very effective.
