Mommy look, I can finally smile
Yes baby, I will be with you in a very short while
Mommy see, I can babble and coo
Just after this baby, I will be right with you
Mommy wow, I can roll almost all the way
Sorry baby, I won’t have time to play
Mommy yay, I was able to crawl
Please baby don’t get too close to the wall
Mommy mommy, I can finally walk
Sweet baby, I will get to you after your sister and I talk
But mommy, I am almost all grown
Oh baby, despite having siblings, you grew up all alone
When I smile at you or babble and coo, please give me some love and attention too.
Despite my older siblings who were taking up all your time,
I too have my achievements and my need to shine.
So please celebrate me like you did my older sister and brother,
For just like to them, you are my mother.
I love you,
Your second child.
