Baby Love Poem by Mary Champion

There is something irresistibly charming
about babies and toddlers -
first…
they have no concept
of race, class, creed
or social decorum.
Whoever they are,
wherever they are from
they react with an emotional spontaneity
that is unhindered by intellectual moderation.
They are authentic embodiments
of the human heart -
inarticulate,
demanding,
selfish,
ruthlessly determined,
impervious to reason,
and utterly adorable.
