Just Folks. By E A Guest Change Worker
The baby came the other day. Now there's a cry to hear. And be as careful as they may. There will be pins to fear. There will be moments of dismay which turn the blood stream cold. When some one in an awkward way the baby starts to hold. There will be bills that must be paid for things they'll have to buy, There will be changes to be made and feedings to supply. The baby came the other day and this is plain to see, Much different by night and day both life and home will be.
