Peacefully beneath a tree
another bough begins;
sheltered by a canopy
beginning without end.
Dawning in the sky
stretching out His softened rays;
He searches every leaf and limb
per chance to know your face.
Gazing over head
shining brightest at high noon;
faithfully He covers you
while beckoning the moon.
Tired and yawning in the sky
glorious golden light;
He dances once more on your face
before He bids goodnight.
Fear not, Dear One!---then comes the moon
illuminating night;
‘till darkened boughs above again
wake with you in His light.

that is beautiful mel!
what a beautiful poem.
what a beautiful baby - i haven't seen her yet so thank you for posting pictures. i love the chubby round face - what kissable cheeks.
what miracles surface when a child is born - everyday the mystery of life astounds us!
Matt put this to music last night. It's beautiful. The lyrics are truly inspired.
