Written for an adorable baby I met on a ferry while on a cruise around the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland.
Today I met a baby
With a cheery smile
She was on a cruise
On a choppy sea
So was I.
I made faces at her
And she smiled some more,
It made me forget
The ever present concept
Of death
By choppy sea.
There were majestic cliffs
To be looked at.
But I taught the baby
To blow a raspberry.
Her mother said
She'd made a friend.
So had I.
This baby
With her too big blue eyes
And cheery smile.
So small
Compared to the cliffs
And yet,
So big.
