Sweet child of love we welcome thee <br />To share our lives dear Bethany. <br />A tiny miracle you seem, <br />Perfect beyond our wildest dream, <br />Your smile, your hands, your little feet, <br />They are so lovable, so sweet. <br />We love you in so many ways, <br />To list them would take days and days. <br />Dear Bethany we’ll guard you well, <br />Protect you from the witch’s spell, <br />The unkind ways of man to man <br />As far as any parents can. <br />Our wish for you is joy and peace, <br />Throughout your life may they increase. <br />May loving kindness, beauty, too, <br />In all your days accompany you.<br /><br />Pete Crowther<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/our-little-bethany/
