one good liver, healthy as a horse,
two first words “Mama & Dada” said
over and over and over, of course.

2 frontal lobes for impulse control
1 corpus callosum to process it all
2 healthy parents to care for this child
1 precious little spirit so tender & mild
1 first step towards independence,
as we nurture, protect, guide and love
this wee precious gift sent from above.
