Toddler tales

High pitched squeaks of joy

At the sight of me from afar
Impish grin of sweet pleasure
This feeling, nothing can mar

Simple pleasures abound,

With cries of ‘look at me’s
“watch me do it my dear”
Life is completely at ease

Time is at a standstill

Languid the pace sought
To slow down and pause
Is the valuable lesson taught.

Days with a child are such

Precious moments to treasure
And, the heart fills with peace
Beyond what one can measure
