They were all just babies once <br />She’s all grown up now <br />The office bully <br />Learned to walk <br /> twenty nine years ago <br />And the evil politician <br />learned how to lie for the first time in seventy two <br />And those who would hurt you scorn you my love <br />Who’ve no right to make you feel small this way <br />they first learned to walk on fat wobbly legs a couple of decades back <br />It never made much difference to their poise or posture though <br /> <br />Whilst you my love <br />My precious creature <br />You were born full and deep with second time round wisdom <br />With enough strength <br />To set the world the example it aches for <br />Just be strong and ride the wave <br />For me, for you <br /> for the world you want to love<br /><br />maggie oke<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/they-were-all-just-babies-once/
