Toddlekins

Butterfly,
Flutter by,
Through the summer air;
Roses bloom,
Sweet perfume
Shedding everywhere;
Robins sing,
Bluebells ring
Greeting to my dear,
When her sweet
Tiny feet
Bring her toddling here.

Pitapat!
Little fat
Funny baby toes!
Do not stumble,
Or she’ll tumble
On her baby nose.
Closer cling,
Little thing,
To your mother’s side,
Baby mine,
Fair and fine,
Mother’s joy and pride.
