Did I omit my morning kiss?

Or fail to hail your daily bloom?

What critical need did I miss?

As the baby's due next month

I'm watching my p's and q's

Skating on thin eggshells

On a mouth adorning the face 

That leaves my heart in bits

The quiver of fond lips cant be beaten

It makes my soul leap and rhyme

Should yours ever stop quive...
