Flower that sprung from the sacred
sod
Warmed to life when it's maker
smiled.
Gazing back in the Fathers face,
Bending DER it in perfect love,
Catches the dim, reflected grace
Only baby's smile can prove.
Least of heaven, and best of earth
Linked in a life so pure and sweet
Gray dawn breaks, at the baby's birth
Pale where the dark and daylight
meet.
Rich with promise, the morning gray
Heart of the waiting world beguiles,
Rich with promise the happy day
Dawns and dies, when the baby

Glad as a message from Paradise,
Budding wisdom and baby wiles
Come, when first in the hazel eyes
Laughter wakes. and the baby
