The Light of a Child

There was a child born to man, who made every body smile. Born at night but fair of heart, she made the morning rise. She sprinkled the magical light of stardust where ever she appeared. Her laughter filled the hearts of those who came close enough to hear. Her sparkling eyes full of wonder filled every heart with cheer. Her generosity dispelled the gloom and made the flowers grow. Her fair contingence spoke of treasures, still as yet untold. Her antics opened up the world, bringing vibrancy alive. Her head would bow with prayers, which opened every mind. Thru her came a radiance that chased away the clouds. Thru her contentment came a peace that showered all around. Thru her actions came a beauty that strengthened every soul. Thru her love she filled every heart, till they over flowed. Thru her came a wealth for all, through heart, mind, and soul. Thru her came a restful peace which everyone proclaimed. She really was a beautiful child, who was greatly admired. And what would you name such a wonderful child? I would name her Hope, wherever she is born. I know you might have thought I was describing someone else… But she was a precious token left to us, a much needed gift… From God and our Beloved Christ above, for our benefit.

I also believe "Hope" would be a very appropriate name for such a child. You have described her pervasively well in this poem.
