There is a joy in the journey. There's a light we can love on the way. There is a wonder and wildness to life. And freedom for those who obey.

The Sweetest Gift



The Sweetest Gift

The sweetest gift I never deserved came straight from Heaven above.
The purest expression of God’s creation and Mommy and Daddy’s love.

Your face so very beautiful, God’s own true work of art.
Each smile a drop of sunshine, to melt your Mommy’s heart.

I love you from your punkin head and little button nose,
Clear down to you chubby feet with such long skinny toes.

A crown of long dark baby hair upon your lovely head
Frames such an angelic face, as all who’ve seen you said.

The rest of the world seems to disappear when I hold you in my arms,
Cause I am so enraptured, a willing captive of your charms.

It’s an honor just to care for you and guide you as you grow.
And where this journey leads for us, only heaven knows.

The sweetest gift there ever was ‘tween earth and sky above
The Lord saw fit to give to me: my little baby’s love.
