A Baby In Trouble

A Baby in Trouble By Elton Camp Newborns we welcome with celebration Such happy times with high expectation There is jut nothing in this whole world Equal to a precious little baby boy or girl Most of them will arrive in the best of shape When from mother’s womb they do escape But when the baby is not just as it ought, Know neither the parents nor God are at fault Most who come to see the child’s distress Wonder how the parents they should address Whether to say nothing as if you don’t care Or if an expression of sympathy should share “I know just how you feel” sure won’t do Unless it has really happened with you too “I am so certain that your baby will be okay” An unwise and somewhat foolish thing to say We hope that the best will really come about But in some cases, there is very serious doubt But for the parents, a carefully chosen word Of concern and hope is what needs to be heard Words can have the power to hurt or heal Perhaps assist the parents through an ordeal If sadness happens to come from what we say, They will know we didn’t mean it that way Medical science has made great strides It is certainly wise to see what it provides It may give help a lot or perhaps just some The real solution is from God’s Kingdom
