Baby Hair

Last Friday, I had the opportunity to visit our daughter and grandaughter. I arrived just before bedtime, and Scarlett, who will be two in a couple of weeks, was waiting on me. When I opened the door, she lifted her arms, ready to be picked up. As I lifted her to me, she laid her head on my shoulder, and placed an arm around my neck. She didn't move until I put her in her crib, some fifteen minutes later.

During this time, I had an opportunity to rock her, and sing the little songs I had been singing to her since before she was born. As she rested so securely, it occurred to me that there is very little in life that is as soft, or smells so sweet, as baby hair.

Until next time...
