ALL BABIES ARE BEAUTIFUL
This might work for human beings this I know,
But stop and look at natures babies, is that so?
Yes, puppies, kittens, bunnies, farm animals too
Are all cute, you want to take them home with you.
But go to the zoo and gaze at some babies there,
It takes some imagination to ever call them fair,
A baby hippo, rhino, warthog and young snake
Could not be called beautiful for goodness sake.
Peek into a nest and see a new hatched baby bird,
To call it cute, pretty or beautiful would be absurd,
No feathers, appears all beak, eyes and big head,
That ugly beak wide open just waiting to be fed.
But then I may see them ugly that strange new born
But each parent only sees beauty and are not forlorn,
But like all proud parents are as protective as can be,
So I think I can say yes, all babies hold a magic beauty.
