Children - Curse But Blessing Later comic poem 422 by Angela Lansbury

Angela as a child and teenager. B/W polyphotos. Phot by Angela Lansbury. Copyright.

A baby gives a hearty cry

To warn it's not prepared to die

No way will this thing go away

You'll be its slave both night and day


Whether you welcome boy or girl

You're trapped in a commercial whirl

And if your joy has turned to doubt

Ask yourself, how'd it come about


A boy and girl got together

Any seasonk, any weather

Decide that they'll stay together

Every season, every weather


A babe's a blessing you must keep

Although you lose a lot of sleep

Each day brings changes you will see

You'll get more sleep when it's past three


It starts to walk, it starts to talk

Falls on the floor, can open doors

Seven years of cute clothes heaven

Before teens, adults, cost you more


Now here's the most imprtant thing

You need a house more than a ring

A child's a blessing from above

Plants need water, for kids add love


Maybe the teenage years are tough

But you'll reach old age soon enough

Children warm you when you feel cold

They visit you 'though you look old


Depending what you said and did

Children like toys, you lift their lid

Treat well, tidy troubles away

They'll save you on a rainy day


Treat them with love, or treat with hate

For the results you have to wait

Don't be blind but make up your mind

Todays be kind, it's not too late.


Remember what ges up coes down

What goes around will cme around

Remember what you say and do

One day through them comes back to you.
