Baby and |
Baby and I have entered school,
And agreed to teach each other;
Pm to instruct his baby mind, and
He is to teach his mother.
Others may cook the things | eat
And do my sewing maybe;
And wash and iron and scrub and
clean.
But / shall teach my baby,
For while | teach, he teaches too;
Many the lessons we each assign;
We study and learn the whole day
through;
Page upon page and line upon line;
am a student and he is too;
/ am his teacher, and he is mine.
When baby holds and cIings to me
And trusts me through all false
alarms,
Resting in faith upon my breast,
Hiding in my encircling arms,
He teaches me how | may cling
Close to my fathers loving side;
How, in his everlasting arms
My soul may ever hide,
And oft when he desires a thing,
And [ refuse to grant this prayer,
How quickly | realize
That God likewise withholds from me
Things which his very love denies.
Baby and | have much to learn;
But do you know. I'd rather be
My baby's pupil day by day
Than have him learn of me?
His sweet submission TO my will,
His confidence in all | do,
Increase my faith and make me
Y earn to be little baby too.
His simple faith, his restfulness,
His heart so pure and undefiled,
Have taught me lessons new and
strange,
And made my hayward spirit mild !;
And To- each day | kneel and pray:
80 God, make me little child"
