BABY WEEK SUGGESTION

WHERE did you come from, baby dear?
w Out of the everywhere into the here
Where did you get your eyes so blue?
Out of the sky as came thru.
What makes the light in them sparkle and spin?
Some of the starry spikes left in.
Where did you get that little tear?
found it waiting when got here.
What makes your forehead so smooth and high?
A soft hand stroked it as went by.
What makes your cheek like warm white rose?
Something better than anyone knows.
Whence that three-cornered smile of bliss?
Three angels gave me at once kiss.
Where did you get that pearly ear?
God spake and it came out to hear.
Where did you get those arms and hands?
Love made itself into hooks and bands.
Feet, whence did you come, you darling things?
From the same box as the cherub's wings.
How did they all just come to you?
God thought about me, and so grew.
But how did you come to us, you dear?
God thought of you. and so / am here.
