My love for the pacifier - in haiku

Simple rubber thing,
A trifle - but your power
Immeasurable.

To silence at night
And in the much loathed car seat -
Life is more pleasant.

Gone, a fussy Grant.
In his place, a docile babe
Sucking happily.

My love for you grows
With each errand completed,
Each tearless bedtime.

But Pacifier,
Why do you torment me so?
Please - stay in his mouth.
