Tiny child with skin so smooth
Hair so soft
Small fingers clutching mother's hand
A treasure more precious than
Silver or gold
Snubby nose on gentle face
Sleepy eyes
Tiny feet kick in freedom
A treasure more precious
Than diamond gem
Minute nails on feet and hands
Curling toes
Gentle cry and tender laughter
A treasure more precious
Than kingly crown
