With little limbs, so swift yet small,
You rolled into my life, a tiny ball.
With gentle eyes, a curious face,
You turned my nights into brighter days.
But New Year’s Eve took you away,
Leaving my heart in disarray.
No longer would your legs take flight,
Your tiny world now held by night.
I couldn’t let your memory fade,
So here you rest, a tribute was made.
In this little jar, your beauty froze.
You were the first baby I ever chose.
Your terrarium stays the same, untouched.
Your silk still clings where you once clutched.
I dare not move the threads you twirled;
Your art, your shelter, your entire world.
My first little baby, you’ll always be,
A piece of my soul, a part of me.
A tiny life, so full of cheer.
I'm sorry for leaving you behind last year.
