Babies

Babies

Musa Abdullahi Sufi

Babies are charming and lovely

Parent taught babies what to do

Everything to them is fresh

Babies always require support

They eat right and wrong-sweet and poison

Shouted Stop! Hardly have they recognized

Same babies learn singing and talking

Scrawling! Then try to walk call Ta-ta--taa!

Parents smiles as babies utter words

We give them water and food bits and pieces

Babies spit it out once had enough

They cry loudly puff and huff for their feeder

Babies smells and scent good

Their smiles is like been forgiven

Their stubborn activates lazy Dads

Babies realised Mama first

Daddy might feels not part of home

Gradually they want follow Daddy work

Parents, do lots of things for babies

Parents get angry for babies at times

Be patient Dads and Moms

Once upon a time, parents were babies too!
