Kissing Elizabeth's Cheek


Twenty-six pounds of

wiggling, giggling two-year-old

snuggling into my ample lap.


"Did you have a good nap, honey?"


Her round brown eyes glittering

through thick black lashes blink "yes."

She rubs them with a chubby fist


as I squish her Lilliputian body

close

so my noze can nuzzle

through twirling swirls

of light-brown curls


to find her marshmallowy

nap-warmed cheeck

and kiss her blissfully

over and over again

until she squeals--


"I wuv you da most, mommy."


I kiss her again.
