The Baby

This year a new life came to be. She cries when she's mad or lonely. She smiles, cocks her head in delight, and calls me with her eyes from her high chair. She eats peas and drinks a lot of milk and hugs me with her entire body. Her skin is light and her heart is healthy. We call her "baby" or "Lucy"; sometimes "Savi Lucia" or just "Savi", and she stands for hope and all the good that comes with being human. She is the best that came with the year 2008.
