Only seen through dim moonlight
The crib is against the wall
Safely ensconced in her blanket
The tiny baby sleeps soundly
Mouth still suckling an invisible bottle
Standing quietly at the door
The parents both beam in happiness
The first night all together in their home
This new little family
Thankful beyond words
For the sacrifice of the teen
Too scared and alone
To care for her child
Made the loving decision
To give her baby a home
And a family to love
Written for Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (FOWC) – ensconced
