A mother looked into the eyes of her new born babe, <br /> She smiled as she cried at the happiness it gave. <br /> She talked to the child in a quiet tone, <br /> and promised she wouldn't desert, or leave him alone. <br /> She said, "You'll know love that you won't believe! <br /> When you fall down, I'll pick you up with a hug and squeeze. <br /> I know you don't understand what I'm telling you now, <br /> I'll remember it later on, what I told you, I vow!" <br /> So my darling go to sleep, don't you fret, <br /> Daddy's coming to see you - he has not seen you yet. <br /> Men are funny - he'll even be afraid to pick you up! <br /> He'll bring you a football and a great big truck! <br /> He'll say; I might drop him, I'm sure I might. <br /> In a few months you'll smile and show your first baby tooth, <br /> and Daddy will say, "Look Mommy, ain't that a hoot?"<br /><br />Mildred Ruton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bonding/
