Aw! Both yours and the poem you shared are such touching thoughts of a mother.
Yes, children are babes and their hearts, though with that cheekiness in them, still posses that pure innocence that can any time melt any parents' heart, including our Father in Heaven.
Probably that is why Jesus said,
"Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 18:3-4
