Unconditional
By Ali Palmer
At five-thirty A.M.,
The coos turn to cries.
Dad throws off the covers,
And begins to rise.
She greets him smiling,
With Cosmo Kramer curls.
Nothing is more perfect
Than this baby girl.
He gives her to mama
And gets in the shower.
Before he can finish,
Her upset tummy overpowers.
On the mom, the baby and the bed
The little girl has vomited.
They can barely believe
To this life they’ve committed.
Yet neither is angry,
Or even frustrated.
On getting her better,
They’re both concentrated.
An example of love,
That no others would see.
I wonder how many,
Were given to me.
