Can a baby say, Thank you?

Can a baby say, Thank you?  
Dr Abe V Rotor

 Three-month old Mackie responds happily in receiving Christmas gifts from her lola and uncle. 

Plant early and reap its reward,

for love begets love,

and beauty builds upon beauty,

as this is seen Above.

A baby sang in joy and praise

in Mozart's harmony,

join the angels' serenade

in praise of God's glory.

And gratitude taught early

though the gift's not the best,

need not the grown up to learn

if sown in the nest. ~
