TINY MEDOCHEK
Crusty stains
Dot my proud chest
Dried cereal and saliva
Porridge
Bananas
Sweet Ame’dee’
Marks his new territory with innocent precision
Eternal reward
Found in angelic purity
Stinky pants
Gleeful naked dance
As Momma intervenes
Only a special little man
May pee on my suitcase without objection
Cooing songs of enchanted legend
Cherubs
Speak to him as he sleeps peacefully
Instructions
Guidance
For his next level of growth
Tiny Medochek
Russian for “honey”
Small bundle of sedative
Just the right size
For this captured heart
May you always talk to God in such communion
I love you young one
Without exception
“But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven”
Matthew 19:14
