THEY ALWAYS THINK THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL
Every parent thinks their babies are beautiful
as they watch them play during the day
or sleep throughout the night.
and with a little encouragement from Mother Nature…
they know that they are right.
Why else would the sun send down a ray of light
all the way from outer space…
a single beam who’s only mission
is to highlight the beauty of their child’s face?
Why else when they walk by a garden with their baby
do the flowers stand up a little straighter…
The sunflower, the daffodil…the rose….
and why else would a lady bug rest upon their child’s shoulder
or a butterfly land upon their nose?
Why else would rabbits who normally when they see people coming
run away like crooks…
stop and stand on their hind legs…just to have a look.
Why else would the trees offer their children shade…
if they did not detect…
there is beauty in this child it is their duty to protect.
And why else while in their beds asleep…
In the darkness of the night…
would the moon shine through their windows
offering them a natural night light?
Yes, I know each parent will say…
“My babies are beautiful and will always be beautiful to me”
But isn’t also nice to know that the sun, the moon, the rabbits
the ladybugs and the butterflies agree.
