Notes About The Poem

I have four children and one miscarriage.  Every
baby is a precious gift given by God.  

The Gift of a Baby

The Gift of a Baby

A baby is a precious jewel
little hands little feet just look
and the Bible says all of his or her members
are written in the Masters Book.

That cute little nose those precious blue eyes
and that smile that lights up his or her face
this one our Heavenly Father has given to you
a gift of His amazing grace.

A child’s life then is so precious
that angels guard him or her round and round
why the Father says if you would hurt this little one
it would be better for you to have drowned.

So take care of this precious possession
for he or she is only on loan to you
as the Father wants you up in Heaven
and not only you but He wants him or her there to.
