Ba·by
(n.) a little bit of heaven sent down to earth.

☁ ☁ ☁

you're engaged in your private universe
I smile warmly but you resume to frown
your tiny eyelids flutter as you gaze out
of the glass window, at the active town

it's another day of your absolute silence
you're still surprisingly hesitant to speak
a tight-lipped smile growing miraculously
for merely a second, really small and weak

tell me if it troubles you, are you scared
make me conscious what's on your mind
don't look away, hey, tiny human being
see the world now, don't you stay blind

look me in the eyes, please open up and wait
I know this language you speak pretty well
the world's too cruel for your amateur heart
but don't you go and hide in your tiny shell

it's yesterday's tomorrow, you're still a secret
wonder how your small palm fits so fine in mine
don't be shy or mad, hey, tiny human being
I promise we'll run away from this twisted time

don't you fall trap in the deathly claws of life
it's like you don't belong here, urging to run away
wearing that green coat that's actually wearing you
your little shoes don't allow your racing feet to stay

but you're another undiscovered, hidden jewel
your life will be snatched away like a favourite toy
hey, tiny human being, remember life may go on
in a single breath unless you smile and radiate joy

hey, tiny human being,
I see my six-year-old self in you

we meet kids who remind us about our own childhood.
with tonnes of love,
