A baby is born ~ O Joy! O Joy!
A baby is born ~ O Joy! O Joy!

At the moment of birth it's completely dependent
  on its parents
No one would contest it...

After a few months it begins to coo
And shortly thereafter, to say goo-goo
And not much later doo-doo and moo-moo
Then onward to ga-ga, ma-ma and da-da
--Yet it's still so dependent on its parents
   No one would contest it...

And when the child can go pee-ee
And even dress itself at age three
It's the first big step toward independence
--No one would contest it...

Talking, walking, running, jumping,
Climbing, hiking, swimming and diving,
Daring and driving, dating and mating,
So much to be anticipating.

Once helpless, the babe has spread its wings
Able to do so many wondrous thiings
On its own and independent
  --No one would contest it...

Yet as the child becomes a man
Growing into someone who truly CAN
He leaves behind him something far more precious
Though some would say that 'tis tendentious.

For what's left behind is his dependence
on his parents, once his Godlike guides
But now flung aside as he acceleratess
They fade into the distance to commiserate.

The man-child feels that now he's free
When truth be told, please believe,
He's declared himself not beholden
To parents or God, concepts quaint and olden

To be alone in a world so cold and cruel
That Trouble will greet him
When he runs out of fuel
  
   For what is life but a delicate flower
   Nurtured on high every hour
   Stretching its petals
   To the One Above
   To its Creator in Heaven,
   The Respository of Love.

Are we any different?  Are we any freer?
Do we think we can hide from the Heavenly Seer?
As we cast off the yoke of our parents as burdens
And regard our Creator as a 'Glorified Warden?"

             **********

When afflictions or age suddenly ravage us
And in His fury doth God choose to savage us
Only then are remembered our parents,
Our best and only true friends,
  ~Who tried to save us from an ignominious end.
