After bath last week, naked baby:
round, plush, so new she's dewy;
skin, and skin; perfect pinked toes.
Today, feverish, falling asleep in-arms,
I'm worried but not panicked, yet.
But sad: how can pain exist
in such a perfect, precious package?

Babies should be spared so much.
And yet reality makes it otherwise.
At least there's comfort in arms?
At least we get to help...
That's quite a task right there.
Oh, this takes me back. Sweet!
Thanks Heather ;).
Melissa: some comfort is better than none.
She still moans, but gets hugged.
These tender and concrete images of
such a tiny little life in pain
hurt me in my very heart.
Thanks..........cj
Poor baby, but Mama soothes all.
Hope your sweet one is better.

Thank you all. Fever broke yesterday.
