Being Baby

If I were a baby I would sleep profoundly Nestled in a dream of ruling the world Toys would fight to surround me in war To be by my side in conquest moving forward Dad would walk me around on a pillow Take me to work with him Tuck me under one shoulder for safety That way only getting half a job done It is so hard to accomplish industry With only one hand available He can't afford to let me go Being buddies forever and all that If I were a baby and not much more Sleeping would be my constant companion It is a profound obligation that I treasure Being a baby would be wonderful I look forward to the future when I can return to the womb That would be nice too Authors Note: In fact, my dad did walk me around on a pillow when I was a baby. I've put on a few pounds since then so I guess that would be a little difficult for him these days. I'm dieting though. I'm hoping to get back to my original weight; 7Lbs. 3 ounces.
