Parental Love

Eyes newly opened, and who do I see?
My guardian angel, looking at me.
To know my desires, now that fact is key.
Loving me affectionately it’s free.

Love, do you have it in your possession?
Give it eagerly at your discretion,
Lest you lead me to a hard rejection.
Little babe needs it for true progression.

Lead by example it's often been said.
Reciprocal love now go right ahead.
Heed my needs, my cries, my longings and dread.
The love, the hugs, the kisses crave the spread.
