A Newborn Babe
A NEWBORN BABE
As fresh and as pure as a new fallen snow
As soft and as sweet as a kitten
Tenderness abounds with each tiny breath
One touch and a person is smitten
No anger, no violence has invaded their souls
No jealousy or hatred or strife
Their only thought is adoration and love
For their protector, their sole link to life
Without a worry or a single care
Their lives are unencumbered and simple
Immune to the turmoil that exists in the world
All their worries would fit in a thimble
Oh the gentle innocence of a newborn babe
With the scent of sweet smelling jasmine
A beautiful rhapsody bundled in a blanket
Wrapped in pink satiny skin
As fresh and as pure as a new fallen snow
As soft and as sweet as a kitten
Tenderness abounds with each tiny breath
One touch and a person is smitten
