Mom and Dad's Book of Love

Long ago, from the book of Love, came Daddy and Mommy’s dream The greatest gift, from Father above, “with magical smiles so seen.” For on that special day, that you were born, the angels danced all day. Family came to give us cards; hearts were merry with Heaven’s sway. See “Heaven’s window opened wide,” on the day we first saw "you." From that "special Book of Love," He’ll carefully guide us through. Storm clouds come and folks get lost, without God’s light to shine. He’ll help us with our garden, dear, and give us music like wine. You are our little sapling tree, so we'll plant you in good rich soil. We’ll carefully watch-and-pray, each night, so the sun won’t ever boil. Resting now safe, while angels sing, for every good is of Father God. All your tomorrows He’ll bring; we pray ‘you’re sheltered by His rod.’
