Little Ones
So precious and so dear
As they come
I am talking about
The Little Ones...
Once they are brought into this world
Most adored and cherished
Hurray - for the Little Ones
Who make their parents merriest.
Look at the joy and happiness
They have within themselves
It makes you want to put them
High on a pedestal.
So adorable - and so sweet
What a joy to have
Even when they decide to cry
It makes you want to laugh.
You only want the best for them
Nothing is too great
They grow up to be someone
You really appreciate.
But oh - those Little Ones
So precious and so dear
For longer than you want to
It's the only voice you hear.
It's mommy this and mommy that
What does the Little One want?
Mommy knows if daddy doesn't
Little One wants to want.
It wants for this - It wants for that
It wants for everything
But, when it comes to the real want
It wants for comforting.
Comfort is given and received
Little One is happy now
Now - mommy can laugh again
Yes! Mommy knew somehow.
