Rosebuds

Babies are like rosebuds
With petals tightly furled...
Mommies are like full-blown roses
Beautifully dressed and curled...

Daddies are like
Strong, strong stems
Who can hold and kiss
The both of them...

The picture they make
Is so sweet and loving,
We see their treasure
Is truly belonging!
