Is There Anything Sweeter...?

Is there anything sweeter than a child freshly woken?

Is there anything warmer than her weight in your arms?

Is there anything softer than the touch of her hand upon your skin?

Is there anything more delightful than her chubby fingers and toes?

Is there anything brighter than her smile when she recognizes your love?

Is there anything more thrilling than the sound of her laugh bubbling up from deep inside?

Is there anything more wonderful than knowing she's anticipating your next move (as in Gramma's going to pick me up now)?

Is there?

Not for me.
