God's Masterpiece

From graceful lilies pure and white, God fashioned lovely skin;

Forget-me-nots

He chose for eyes, Then formed your baby chin.

He took a tulip bright and red-- 'Twas one that did not fade;

A softer, sweeter little mouth Before was never made.

Another flower next He used-- A rosebud, pink and fair;

Touched it to your dimpled cheeks And bade it blossom there.

Then with His magic fingers, picked Two morning glories white;

Curled and shaped your little ears, Soon they were fastened tight.

That crowning bit of golden down Will soon become your hair;

He gathered pollen from the flowers And sprinkled it with care.

For dainty little fingers dear And precious tiny toes,

He used the slender daisy frills;

A snowdrop made your nose.

This world and all within it He created here for man;

But Baby was "God's Masterpiece" Since time and life began!

"Loving a child is a circular business.

The more you give, The more you get

The more you want to give."
