Rugged up in woollen mini-fleece
That cheeky look will please the boys
Oh, I'm so proud of my wee niece!
Not yet a year but poignant gaze
Alert, attentive and aware
She has reached that touching phase:
«Reach out and grab» whatever's there!
So why lie still upon a rug
While Mummy gets on with the chores
When looking cute brings on a hug?
Soon she'll be crawling on all fours!
So much to see, explore and learn
With what skills is she endowed?
In each new picture I discern
Her ability to please a crowd.
She stares the camera in the eye
Taking up a perfect pose
It's natural, there's no need to try
Innate ability just shows!
