FAMILY: Noni's Little Glow Worm

 

NONI’S LITTLE GLOW WORM

 

We didn’t expect you

over five weeks early--.

our little jaundiced glow worm,

peeking out from beneath the lights. 

We didn’t expect you

to be so beautiful,

dipped in yellow,

lighting the universe.

The night is upon us now,

and your little big sister

snuggles into her very own bed

beside the crib that is waiting for you.

You sleep quietly instead

in your radiant cradle

beside your mother and father‘s bed,

dreaming of Reese’s Pieces and E. T.
