A Warm Hug

Pick a corner of the sofa, set down a little Coke,

Had meant to hold it and read a bit,

But the moment I see the little one in my arms,

Her eyes so hazy and dreamy,

A smile is innocent, free of any impurity,

Truly tugs at the heart,

Just like that,

You look at me, I look at you,

As if we’ve all gotten used to this warmth,
