toddler
trouble you were then
your making most difficult
but blessings you gave

your look welcomed us
you smiled from the beginning
you are calm and cool

your eyes watched it all
curious and reflecting
bright eyes that twinkle

carried then crawling
now toddling freely about
reaching and touching

beginning your exploring
we give you now our blessing
