A Toddler's World

An empty cubby in a desk,
A basket full of toys;
Combine them and sit back and watch
The skills a tyke employs.

Each item’s picked up, one by one
And transferred to the niche.
The door gets opened then gets shut
At every single switch.

When all the toys are in the desk,
The game goes in reverse,
The concentration so complete
There’s no need to converse.

It’s fascinating to observe
Such focus and control
And all the joy engendered
By accomplishing the goal.

A toddler’s world is waiting
As each day he conquers more
And the times I see it happen
Are occasions I adore.
