What's In a Name?

I rock back and forth

On this silent night

I look into your eyes

So pure and so bright

Your mouth curls right up

Toward the twinkling stars

You carelessly giggle

And mend my broken heart

What word could describe

This new light in my life?

What name would I give

To such a beautiful sight?

Your small tiny hands

Grasp the tips of my fingers

You loosen your grip

As my lullaby lingers

You scrunch up that nose

Between your rosy red cheeks

You stretch out those legs

As your eyes flutter weak

You lay in my arms

So peaceful and so sound

I sit until sunrise

Embracing this new love I’ve found

I gaze out the window

To a new day so sunny

Your eyes gently open

Sweeter than the drops of honey

How would I define

The bliss that I feel?

How could I make

This joy forever real?

I look toward the meadow

Winter’s withering away

I look down at your face

And all darkness fades

You bring out the wonder

The beauty in my arcadia

You are my happiness

Your name shall be Pamela.
