All infants babies cries their form comunication;
Babies are the entry level human being vessals;
Cute cuddles, bundles of unaquivle mercies of joy;

Written by James Edward Lee Sr. 2026
Babies when they come to us, sweet and innocent.
Evenings when the sun drips colors from a blazing sky.
Any time that I am feeling perfectly content.
Unusually romantic tales and songs that make folks sigh.
These are things so beautiful that they enrich my life.
Illumination of the mind; my spirit sings!
Fields and starry firmaments, mountains, lakes and streams.
Unfathomable love, which helps the weak sprout wings.
Love that saves the sinner and realizes dreams!

T alk to your children about life’s mystery
H elp them to understand
E xplain it in terms that they relate to; don’t make it confusing or bland
B iology shouldn’t be scary or embarrassing
I t’s simply a fact of life
R efusing to address it when our children are young
D evelops a lesson learned later with strife
S ex shouldn’t be a topic taken too light
A voiding the discussion only adds to the sense
N atural emotions and feelings are wrong
D on’t let your children learn it from others; be open, forthcoming and strong
T each them about the birds and the bees
H earing it from you will help build trust
E ventually they will feel comfortable talking and sharing about their own feelings to us
B abies being made is a beautiful thing
E veryone needs to learn – it’s a must
E ven if it’s a topic we need help discussing
S how your kids you are someone to trust
Z ulus and Shonas possess the lands
I ndependence placed it in their hands
M ugabe dictates his corrupt demands
B abies starve in the streets eating out of empty cans
A ids is rife amongst women and man reducing their life spans
B eautiful country reduced to desert sands
W eeping nation paying with every drop of sweat from their glands
E ternity it feels as they are slaves with new brands
