"WHEN YOU WERE BORN POEM"

A newborn child with eyes so bright You fill the world with much delight Your heart is kind; your smile is sweet You are a joy to those you meet Formed in the palm of God’s own hand Your destiny appears quite grand Although, your path is just begun Your future shines, just like the sun.

As moments pass, your soul will grow To learn things that you did not know You’ll rise above; you’ll make mistakes You’ll fall in love; your heart will break Yet, through it all, you will remain link within your family’s chain Whose bond shall strengthen over time Despite the mountains you must climb.

A newborn child with eyes so bright You are, indeed, a wondrous sightlier skin is soft; your features small But, you are loved by one and Alli know tears fell from cherubs’ eyes As they embraced you with goodbyes Before you flew from high above To grace us with God’s gift of love.
