The wonders of the toddler,
Amazed at what they find,
They have to analyze it all,
What goes on inside their minds.
~
We buy them lots of great toys,
That are forgotten way to soon.
We buy them dolls, trucks and more,
They would rather have a box and wooden spoon.
~
To have their imagination,
Oh wouldn’t it be grand.
They can find something to do,
With whatever’s in their hands.
~
I wish I had their innocents,
To see things the way they do.
To see the world through their eyes,
To see the world as if it were new.
~
To take life at face value,
As they learn and as they grow.
To see things through their amazement,
To know what the toddler knows.
