Her

 

Before her birth, there were

No diaper runs to the store,

No groggy wee-hour vigils,

No crackers on the floor.

There were no coos and babbles,

No wind-up baby swing,

No playpens hogging up space,

No diaper bag to bring.

But now I could not imagine,

Nor could a time occur

That I would be content

Even one day without her.
