C - is for the caring bond between the innocent and new,
it’s the natural instinct that comes from you and baby too.
H - is for the help they ask for in their innocent eyes,
even though they can’t respond; you feel it from inside.
I - is for the needing of a touch or a caress,
just because they think your hand is the best.
L - is for the loving, so conditional and so true,
it’s a smile with a slobbery kiss that says I love you.
D - is for devotion for each parent to love and teach,
so every child can have a hand to grab out and reach.
R - is for the readiness of love on demand,
most of all, it’s the touch of an innocent hand.
E - is for the effort that children try to show,
as is our reward, we get to watch them grow.
N - is for the nourishment both needed and so given,
and for each parent, it’s a blissful kiss of heaven.
