Wide Eyed Smiles
Wide Eyed Smiles
Children falling through the atmosphere
Dropped by storks or other forces way out there
Seem to always have wide eyes and smiles
Dropping in from many baby making miles
They are beaming with expectations
For birthday presents at their new locations
And obviously, a safe landing site would be nice
Since they have no experience at flight
Though not too coordinated at this time
They keep their falling out of mind
They watch everything because it’s new
And they want to make it through
First impressions are important coming from above
With expressions of their love
Parachutes close upon their drop
Babies caught in a glove by mom and pop
Wide eyed and smiles all around
We’re so happy they didn't hit the ground
