MY TODDLER DAYS

MY TODDLER DAYS



Toddler days are here again,
I totter as I walk.
Others can’t comprehend me,
Too garbled is my talk.

I find it difficult to
Control the urge to eat,
Though others remind me to
Shun all things that are sweet.

I can’t read what is written,
Others’ help I must take.
What I write others can’t read.
Writing, my fingers shake.

People have to hold my hand
When I’m crossing the street.
My own family members,
Me like a child do treat.
