I could not tell in helpless words
How M UGH his smile is worth,
How oft I've m burned our troubles sore
And bowed to sorrow deep!
But baby laughs and crows all day,
Till rocked to happy sleep.
And yet. though oft my mind
With heavy care is pressed,
1 cannot help but think sometimes
That baby's way is best.
IT'S many years since from above
My spirit wander ed here,
But baby, in his earthly home,
Has fingered scarce year.
And that is why l sometimes think
That baby's ways the best;
He has not been so long from Heaven
AS to forget its rest
