Little child, grandchild, wonder child
Smiling at the world and wondering
As adults watching you do
Wishing your innocence too
My dearest miniature so kind
I feel you in my heart and mind
Your little hands so perfect
No teeth in your little mouth yet
So busy seeing, feeling and enjoying
Hearing the calm beating of my heart
You are so busy my little child
But soon you'll get so tired
So sleep then and close your eyes
We'll watch you, tell no lies!
