Babies Change

Tiny babies are very sweet,

They smile at everyone they meet;

They don’t mind if a person’s new,

They’ll go to everybody who

Will hold and cuddle them in their arms;

They really haven’t any qualms

About being passed and passed around;

Their placidness is well renowned.

By the time they’ve reached the age of two,

They often don’t like someone new;

It doesn’t matter if they’re nice,

Their newness often will suffice

For them to be ignored or shunned;

Many adults have been stunned

To find their love rejected by

That child, no matter how they try.

But it is nothing but their age;

For toddlers often have a stage

When they can cope with just a few,

And don’t like anyone that’s new.
