Baby! Oh! Baby!

 
“Innocence”! Born-Stolen-Cherished
 
Automatic, natural-instinct Love for a baby---Perfect!
 
Bright-eyed! Smiling! Soft as angel wings! Completely…Innocent!
 
All too quickly, the innocent learns the “Game-of-Life”.
 
Hungry? Just whimper---food!
Uncomfortable? Cry…attention!
Loving?---Simply…smile!
 
Everybody loves a baby---well…nearly!
 
The Good of life; perhaps---better…the very best!
 
In that new beginning lays our Hope! Comfort! Inspiration!
 
Very soon, “rules” will conspire to upset a pleasant heaven.
By five, the child will learn to “deny”---survival instinct…perverted.
By seven, that proverbial Yogi-“fork” enters---choose…carefully.
Like they say in sales: Some will! Some won’t! So what? Next!?
 
All too soon, some future will become the now
and each will stand naked-alone in Judgment
to answer for the then of his time through space.
 
So? Why contemplate the “un”-acceptable?
“Be happy! Don’t worry!” The lyrics advise.
 
Just for “fun” (my ultimate life-goal) among the
myriad trouble-trial-travails of time-space, allow
this rebel, rascal, rogue to offer humor, cause lighthearted
smiles, perhaps, with luck, and grace-blessing, spread Love!
 
If one should so desire to walk upon the narrow trace
to avoid any necessity of confession for embarrassing
transgression violating the fine line between Good and
evil, then never commit the sinful thought, word, or deed.
 
And, in that end, stand proud and tall in Judgment swift and pure.
 
If humble Simple-I might be redeemed to claim salvation one day?
Let my epitaph fiat proclaim: Live! Love! Laugh! In child-Innocence!
 
Amen!
