I don't want to ever forget this moment

This is my last baby. How I want to savour every moment.

I don't want to ever forget,
our first dawn together in the hospital room,
when he crank his neck long like an E.T,
opened his eyes, and gave me his first smile.

I don't want to ever forget,
the way he stretches his hands like superman,
and arched his back so much as if he's going to fall out of my lap.

I don't want to ever forget,
the smell of his skin, so raw, so yummy.
No wonder why the witches in story books loves to eat little babies.

I don't want to ever forget,
the shock of seeing my elder boy,
suddenly appear so huge, the face so big, hands so strong,
suddenly so grown up overnight.
When just the night before, I was holding him to sleep and he was still my "baby".  Suddenly no more.

I don't want to ever forget,
that blue hospital gown on my little man,
those helpless hands as he clung onto my breast.
those fists that knocked himself on the head,
those fingers that scratched his own eyes,
those skinny legs that spring back up like a frog,
those pimples, that yellow skin that cause me worries day and night.

This is my final baby, I want to savour it all, before the grow up in the twinkle of an eye,
and then, a newborn no more.
