" BABY."

Only a baby small, Dropfc from the skies; Only a laughing face, Two sunny eyes; Only two cherry lips, One chubby noae; Only two little hands, Ten little toes. Only a golden head, Curly and soft; Only a tongue that wags Loudly and oft; Only a little brain, Empty of thought; Only a little heart Troubled with nought. Only a tender flower Sent us to rear; Only a life to love While we are here; Only a baby small, Mover at rest; Small, but how dear to us, God knoweth best. —Matthias Barr.
