This is a poetic form called the Villanelle, written after spending some lovely time with my godson and his family.

BABIES

Babies are so cute and cuddly.

I love the sweet smell of their skin.

A blessing are babes, don't you see?

Their eyes look at you so innocently,

as if they can see deep within.

Babies are so cute and cuddly.

To be held and loved is their only plea.

Entering into this world without sin.

A blessing are babes, don't you see?

Eat, sleep and poop babes do repeatedly,

then cry and cry again and again.

Babies are so cute and cuddly.

I am grateful to have had three,

and if I could, I'd get pregnant again;

a blessing are babes, don't you see?

Cherish all babies deeply;

for they come to us freely, no trade in.

Babies are so cute and cuddly.

A blessing are babes, don't you see?
