belly or tummy

life source linked to  mummy

adults who cut cord

untie bond, lend support

avid grip on a hand

clench safe balance to stand

willful legs below call

to speed up and play ball

while way up on top

manners boast, hair's like crop

bright eyes big as plates

still talk truth, hide no names

self-assured create ways

to avoid past mistakes

believe that when tall

trouble comes to a stall

in bloom with frail youth

catch not everything's cute

somewhere get upset

tightrope dance, face the bet

advance trough the years

adopt self then form pairs

take care of east-west

strive for home remains best

so thank you all is worth

for fresh look to this world

we can't ask much more

without such it's a bore
