Let me be little
Sweet mama, I say.
I know I kept you up all night cause I slept most of the day.
Let me be tiny
Sweet mama, I proclaim.
For these days seem long but they will never be the same.
Let me be a baby
Sweet mama, I plead.
For to be held for a little while is just what I need.
Let me be young
Sweet mama, I reply.
You look down at me today but tomorrow we will see eye to eye.
Let me be new
Sweet mama, I smile.
Not for too long but surely for a tiny, little while.
Let me be little
Sweet mama, I again say.
As I just grew a little bigger in a not so little way.
Let me be little, tiny, a baby, young and new.
Because, sweet mama, I surely do love you.
