This precious new life, <br />Sent to light up the world. <br />With his very first smile, <br />And his fingers uncurled. <br />So on his christening day, <br />We all gather in prayer. <br />Keep this little one close, <br />And safe in god's care. <br />To know such a blessing, <br />Is a gift from above. <br />This promise for the future, <br />Is surrounded with lots of love. <br />And i am so pleased to join you, <br />On your very special day. <br />As you bless your child, <br />And start him on his way. <br />To a way of life so good and true, <br />Young COHEN is already blessed <br />With having parents like you.<br /><br />Claire Riley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-precious-christening-poem/
