Babies and Toddlers
Babies; toddlers everywhere,
Newborn smiles, and eyes that stare,
Little fingers; little toes,
And, love has blossomed; Heaven knows.
Silk the skin, and dimpled cheek,
Peek-a –boo; now Boo-a-peek,
A horse, a colt; A cow, a calf,
These simple games and infants laugh.
Now where do little giggles grow?
From straws in milk as bubbles blow,
Or any “Blub-blub” funny sound,
Will make the infant laugh resound.
Yet, quiet time it is the best,
Our little ones will take their rest,
As Mister Sandman makes his calls,
The head upon soft pillow falls.
Each dream, I know they dream as we,
Some struggles, and some reverie,
And, with one hope when wake they face,
Someone they love who gives them grace!
