Hello, Child- A Senryu Series (Take 2)

Hello, Child, I
Noticed your mottled blue skin
And how I failed you.

Hello, Child, and
Whose smile is that, that you
Wear with such a pride?

Hello, Child, this
Baby girl can't see clearly
No more fairy tricks.

Hello, Child, dare
Hold you to my cautious chest?
Find your shallow breath.

Hello, Child, air
Tousles auburn hair about
One fine afternoon.

Hello, Child, cold
Cheeks I fear to find each day
Cold cheeks and no rise.
