Blue

I'm not sure about this one - I think the last few lines could use a bit of work. Any suggestions? Blue I look down at your face - Your perfect cheeks; Your eyes, opening For the very first time. I watch your tiny hands A paragon in miniature Clutching indelicately at the curls Of my damp hair. What is it like to be you? Cradled, safe and smelling of Something I knew once, A scent forgotten until now – What is it like To have the world revolve around you; To be innocent of everything, except Wanting to be loved? And as I trace the contours Of your beloved smile, I feel That I could be newborn My life an empty room, waiting For your light to shine in; And I wish that my eyes Were that boundless shade Of just-opening blue.
