Baby

Sweetest little baby,
Smiling little mug.
How I'd like to kiss you,
And give to you...a hug.

Little pug-nose breathing,
Letting air come in.
Dimpled cheeks...all rosy,
Moved up in a grin.

Bright your eyes...and starry,
Strands of hair that curl.
The center of affection,
Is Mama's little girl.

O you are very precious,
And I love you much.
Near unto the angels,
So heavenly is your touch.

Sweetest little baby,
Smiling little mug.
You are such a darling,
Could I give you a hug?


E. P. 1908 - 1989
