I'm your baby
And I "cost" I'm not
talking
About just money.
But those trails that
I will someday cross.
Right now
I am too small
To understand,
The things that
grown-ups do
To instill their
knowledge
Inside of me -
That will some day
Become my daily plan.
Although through my days of growing up,
I will pass by my up's and down's
With a little luck.
I will look for
My mother and my father to be my boss
Just as long as they know that
I'm their baby and
I "cost"!
