BABY'S WAY.
•Everything's in the baby's way Whenever she run and play; It's-either a chair, .a table or door Or clutter all over the playroom floor. When she starts to run, she gets a bump, And we have to kiss her forehead plump And start her off with a smile to play And clear things out of the baby's way.
Everything's in tha baby's way, She wants her do, and she wants her say J She wants to do the things which are wrong-, And her will each day it grows more strong, And we try so gently to guide her right And ask the Father of all for light; But to her who wants her do and say Everything seems in the baby's way.
Everything's in the baby's way From morning till night, so babies say, And so they are cross and fretful, too, And do the things they oughtn't to do, £ And their ways are not our ways at all, ','■■ And so they must cry and scold and fall, !:'■' But we turn a hundred times a day <? And smile because it is baby's "way." —Joe Cone in National Magazine. 1
