A TRIBUTE TO THE BABYSITTER WHO USED TO CHANGE MY DIAPER

You led me into the room

where the act was performed

The sun shone through the window

and your attitude was so warm.


You laid me down on the vanity,

Never shaming me for what I'd done in my pants,

Your tender ministration

to this day enchants.


You conversed with me through changing

Leading me through the process thereof

This toddler gratefully receiving

your kindness, care and love.


I wish I could express in person

this recollection from when not very old,

Mundane things done for a little child

May very well reverberate untoled.
