2025 November PAD Chapbook Challenge: Day 5

For the 2025 November PAD Chapbook Challenge,

 poets write a poem a day in the month of November.

 Day 5 is to write a description poem.

It's tots naps-time so I couldn't resist a crack at today's prompt.

Especially after fresh inspiration 

Your darling grin

can melt my heart

like ice-cream 

in July

You turn me very young

and old

You make me laugh

and cry

And as you slip 

your hand

 in mine

I feel so very small

until the way 

you look at me

makes me feel 

ten feet tall

Your innocence 

is holy ground

to hold your hand 

in mine

gives me a sense of

of being held

twixt mortal 

and divine

Dear precious, loving,

eager tot

so tender and 

so smart

You make me feel

as if I hold

the whole world

in my heart

Words fail, each time 

I try to spell 

love's ink-defying 

charms

Like trying to 

gather the sky 

and ocean

 in my arms

I played this song for them

this morning...they giggled with delight

I Love, Tom T Hall,
