Lydia On Her Blessing Day

Dear round-faced infant girl, dressed in a long white gown as satin as her skin, tranquilly lies resting in my arms. With blue eyes softly shut, she seems to blissfully slumber, unaware of how innocently beautiful she is. *The picture, of course, was Lydia on her blessing day just a few months old. She is my youngest granddaughter and just turned five years old after Xmas! For the Gerber Baby Contest of PD

Andrea, this is a very gentle and beautiful portrait. I love the shape of the poem itself, structurally, and it seemed like it just sort of dropped from your fingers like a sigh.
