A Baby's Poem

If only you would take my hand

I could show you my magic land

A place of eternal springtime

This is someplace uniquely mine

My Mommy's lap is always there

Safe and warm to banish fear

And when I fall and scrape my knee

Someone always comforts me

My teddy bear and I can play

Till darkness overtakes the day

When bedtime comes I know I'll see

A baby's crib awaiting me

My Mommy pins my diaper on

I know she loves her little one

Then on her lap with Dr. Seuss

Nursery rhymes

and Mother Goose

I suck my thumb and close my eyes

Mommy looks at me and smiles

Softly kissing my forehead

She gently tucks me into bed

And if I waken in the night

Cold and wet and filled with fright

My Mommy is there to ease my fears

And wipe away my little tears

She brings my bottle of warm milk

And with a touch as soft as silk

While Mommy hums a lullaby

My magic land I know I'll keep

As Mommy rocks me back to sleep

Now if my hand you cannot take

And my land you would forsake

Judge not so harshly such as I

For fear my magic land would die.

This is an exciting year for the Royal Baby watcher. The stork has just presented Mabel will little Luana. He will visit Märtha Louise sometime in mid-April, then from June through August, he will leave a wonderful bundle of joy on Maxima’s, Marilene’s, Cristina’s and Alexia’s doorsteps. Or, should I say castle steps?

Some of these soon-to-be royal moms are on their second or third or even fourth trip into motherhood and are no doubt very busy with their toddlers just as those royal moms who are not expecting. These royal toddlers are the focus of this month’s newsletter. Join us as we discuss the special honours accorded Royal Babies.
