Most Precious Gift
Most Precious Christmas Gift
Back in the year of ‘67
A Christmas gift came straight from Heaven.
Among the tissue, lying there,
A baby girl wrapped up with care
It seemed to our astonished eyes
That we had won the Yuletide prize.
We searched for chip or mar or crack.
We didn’t want to send her back.
She came with an assured guarantee
She was just what she seemed to be.
And so we celebrate each year
In honor of this gift, most dear.
At Christmas time, another birth
Is heralded throughout the Earth.
We’re thankful that he shares his day
With the perfect gift he sent our way.
For Waylee's "Greatest Holiday Gift I Ever Received
I was in the materninty ward when I received it.
My daughter presented it to me along with Heaven as I say in the poem.
She was the most precious Holiday gifts I ever received because she is one of the
big blessings of my life, a granddaughter
and she was born at Christmas time..
She was my third granddaughter. The other two were born too far away from me to be laid in my arms after her first breath.
