Put your children first
Ahead of yourself
The tender little souls
Is here for all to hold

The tiny body so fragile and small
Needs your strength
To care and cuddle as they do grow

The little arms moving
Back and forth
Small sounds from their mouth
As they feed from your breasts

Skin so soft, smooth and pink
That makes tears of joy
Comes down your cheeks

Days and months
Then comes one year
The Birthday Party's
Then comes another year

The little things
That once was new
Is gone and past
And the first year went fast

Show them kindness
With kisses and praises
And be there for them
And the love stays within

Teach them to love
Right from the start
And the color of their skin
Will not matter to them

So hold your baby
So close to your heart
And tell them you love them
Because... you put them first
