For now you are our little one, <br />To share and love 'til day is done, <br />Your hurt to kiss, to bring you bliss, <br />It's plain to see, our hearts you've won. <br />Each day is filled with work, ev'n night, <br />Though when it's done, we reap delight <br />The smile you wear makes small our care <br />And lifts us to the mountain height. <br />New dawns are bright with eagerness. <br />You zeal and jest and happiness <br />Quiets our hearts as the sunrise <br />Stills and fulfills it's morning quest. <br />Thus, doldrum's cure is naught but cling <br />To bright thoughts you so timely bring, <br />Your cheerful face reflects God's grace <br />With love forever encircling!<br /><br />Vivian Kohler<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/newborn/
