tiny handprints on every surface

toys, books, and teddy bears all in surplus

cute little jeans and little man socks

playthings everywhere except the toy box



peek-a-boo and chase the ball

crayon scribbles on the wall



trails of crumbs from his lunch

milk and juice spills-there's a bunch

tid-bits of food here and there

some spaghetti sauce in momma's hair



bath tub toys in the sink

kitchen floor's like an ice-skating rink



in every room is evidence of baby

especially in the heart of this lady!
