For Baby

Found this going through an old file and thought I’d share it. Don’t remember where I got it from.

For Baby

It’s OK if you sit on your quilt

Its OK is you bottle get spilt

If you swallow some air

And you burp, don’t dispair

Its OK if you spit on your quilt.

There are scraps old and new on your quilt

Put together for you on your quilt

If your gums feel numb

Cause your teeth haven’t come

Its OK if you chew on your quilt.

We expect you to lie on your quilt

If you hurt,  you may cry on your quilt

On a cold rainy night,

Don’t fret, you’re all right

You’ll be snug, warm and dry on your quilt
