Where did you come from, baby dear? <br />Out of the everywhere into here. <br /> <br />Where did you get your eyes so blue? <br />Out of the sky as I came through. <br /> <br />What makes the light in them sparkle and spin? <br />Some of the starry spikes left in. <br /> <br />Where did you get that little tear? <br />I found it waiting when I got here. <br /> <br />What makes your forehead so smooth and high? <br />A soft hand stroked it as I went by. <br /> <br />What makes your cheek like a warm white rose? <br />I saw something better than anyone knows. <br /> <br />Whence that three-cornered smile of bliss? <br />Three angels gave me at once a kiss. <br /> <br />Where did you get this pearly ear? <br />God spoke, and it came out to hear. <br /> <br />Where did you get those arms and hands? <br />Love made itself into hooks and bands. <br /> <br />Feet, whence did you come, you darling things? <br />From the same box as the cherubs’ wings. <br /> <br />How did they all just come to be you? <br />God thought about me, and so I grew. <br /> <br />But how did you come to us, you dear? <br />God thought about you, and so I am here<br /><br />tej Singh<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/where-do-babies-come-from/
