She waddled up to Daddy
while lowering her chin
He gazed his Daddy-gaze at her
with the warmth of a knowing grin
He knew she was feeling little
And her shifting, not to mention
made the tummyflies in her middle
a sign she needed special attention
So he eased her down on the carpet
Untaping her diaper gently
And her tummyflies danced a waltz inside
From her littleness, consequently
But her Daddy made her feel safe
And with a gentleness to his care
He bent her knees and curled up her legs
Lifting her bottom in the air
He folded the front of her diaper down
And in his world, she felt small.
But when Daddy changed her diaper
she felt the littlest of all.
