Best Newborn Infant Poems
A newborn infant is a gift of God’s
Ten fingers and ten toes are so precious
There is no greater gift or sweet blessing
This treasured new life brings a blessing
Soft skin so smooth hints of a gift of God’s
His hand is on this wonder so precious
Whispering intimacies so precious
Such a miracle sent down as blessing
A rare joy touches the hand of God’s
A bubbly baby, God’s precious blessing

Like a newborn infant left on rocks
My skin feels tender and my heart is sad
I’d like to creep inside an empty box
I have turned away my every clock
Whilst I try to improve how I’m clad
With my a newborn infant on grey rocks
The people of this world seem like lost flocks
Like sheep, they folllow men who’re dumb and mad
I’d like to hide inside an empty box
Against my ribs my loud heart seems to knock
I gasp for comfort even from folk bad
Like a newborn infant left on rocks
I feel akin to prey, like the red fox
Which o’er long moors and meadows has just fled
I’d like to hide inside an metal box
This sorrow seems to sap my own red blood
And in the sky I see black thunder mad
Like a little infant left on rocks
Without your heart’s embrace I can’t come back
My heart is beating with upbeat delight
You astound me…in every shape and form
My spirit is dancing with unbreakable might
You surprise me…when you take my hand
And pull me outtah my jail-like dorm
And He dismisses me from my solitude…
My eyes are glistening with bliss…
And I’m far from my demise…
Only to find that there’s no need to feel helpless
Why do you spoil me rotten with your fatherly affection?
Just protect me from any harm
Let me make my own decisions…
To see the results in the long run
You prize me as if I’m cherished like your carefree child
You don’t understand – I’m TOO foolish and wild
I haven’t even reached to full maturity
But how eye hope to see myself grow and be set free
From the world’s mayhem
Is there a solution to this problem?
And I’m left with no answer…
My eyes are eager to see…another bright day
And the night is coming to haunt me…
I find myself slowly disappearing from sight…
When will God give me a purpose to fight?
When will He feed me His awesome might?
Just support me…especially during my downfalls
Please answer my calls!
And I’m left to venture off into His path…
Eye can’t escape my terrible nightmares
Consider my calls of acceptance…my grief weighs a ton
Let me pour forth my tears –
Do me a favor and cast away my fears
Steer me away from disorder and confusion
Eye can see you’re making great progress
You’re heading towards a brighter, superb future…
My eyes
No longer witness oblivion
My eyes
Looks beyond the earthly pain…
bEyOnD the affliction
I spot a rope in the distance. . . . .
Push aside the waves…and let me
Grab it this instant!
God feeds me His love…and treats me
Like a newborn infant!
Eye see my Father with brand-new eyes
I feel rare content
And I feel hardly any resentment
Eye
cherish
that
REMARKABLE
moment
A newborn infant has no choice.
My folks with others had consulted.
And this is the girl name that resulted.
They christened me with name of Joyce.
You won’t find my name on today’s lists,
But for those ladies of a certain age,
Born when this name was the rage,
In obituaries it still exists.
Dad’s friend had named his daughter Joyce.
Dad thought it was a pretty name,
And asked if he might do the same.
His friend said “Yes, if that’s your choice.”
With four sons ahead of me in line,
My parents wanted a feminine name.
I know in my heart they would think it a shame,
That Joyce started out as masculine.
My name was popular for a while
Until becoming tattered from over-use.
Out-dated was used as the excuse
To put it in the passé file.
I found when looking on the Internet
That Joyce translates to saint or lord.
I’m afraid I don’t fit either word.
On me it’s as plain as a name can get.
My name has served me very well
And though it hasn’t brought me fame
Isabelle is my middle name
So my daddy called me his Joybell.
No matter what your name may be,
As long as it’s pronounced with love,
It’s a blessing from the Saints above.
I’m sure with this you will agree.

Pre-chorus #2: You turned out to be so mean…you were so heartless… (you
make me feel like nothin’…make me feel like someone…somethin’ – your words
pierced me like a pin on the floor)
I’m not haunted by your callous night…don’t pick a fight (with me…we were
innocent like a newborn infant)
Our friendship oath is pure and full of reverence –
Then, all of the sudden, you make my heart thump with bewilderment
Our love was genuine before you discarded it with revilement…we need to seek
repentance
You owe me – pay off your debts now…how I loathe your resentment!
Chorus: Ahhhh….Stop being a tease…
Ahhhh….Being a tease…(my heart broke into two)
Ahhhh….Here’s a wound to mend
Ahhhh….Please, put my mind at ease
Ahhhh….You don’t see me, nearing my end…
Ahhhh….Nearing my end…(you’re left without a clue)
Pre-chorus: I thought your grass was green…I’m hopeless… (Oh funny, I
thought you were a good person…I was there for you through thick and thin –
you do not love me anymore)
I’m through with you...you…tonight…I long for God’s light (to shed on me…we
were in content & we were pleasant)
You turned out to be so mean…you were so heartless… (you make me feel like
nothin’…make me feel like someone…somethin’ – your words pierced me like a
pin on the floor)
I’m not haunted by your callous night…don’t pick a fight (with me…we were
innocent like a newborn infant)
Chorus: Ahhhh….Stop being a tease…
Ahhhh….Being a tease…(my heart broke into two)
Ahhhh….Here’s a wound to mend
Ahhhh….Please, put my mind at ease
Ahhhh….You don’t see me, nearing my end…
Ahhhh….Nearing my end…(you’re left without a clue)
Give me an excuse or a reason
To overcome these waves of emotions
Friends come and go like season to season
Dealing with vile clashing commotions
We landed on a dead end –
falling victim to regret!
I don’t mean to offend…
Bu we must pay up emotional debt
Our friendship oath is pure and full of reverence…we must accept that we all
need help, going through this circumstance – (we met in a odd place out of the
blue)
Then, all of the sudden, you make my heart thump with bewilderment
Our love was genuine before you casted it away with cold-blooded malice and
discontent…we need to seek repentance (I got to really talk some sense into
you)
You owe me – pay off your debts now…how I loathe your resentment!
Angels Wings
Upon Angel's wings the view was simply stunning, like that of a newborn infant, seeing the bright lights of heaven and all it's possibilities.
Over the cloud covered mountains we soared, effortlessly. Time it seemed had ceased to exist. You hear people say live in the moment, but this moment stood still and completely, passionately and lovingly absorbed my soul. Then a warm euphoric feeling that one can't possibly describe until you have the privilege of experiencing it yourself.
Within seconds it seemed we had continued our journey, we passed over the luscious green canvas that covered the immense canopy of trees. Next it was off to the beautiful deep blue ocean, that brims with life, created by our Magician in the sky. Then in the blink of an Eagle's eye we were surrounded by the endless dunes of the delightful desert
The darkness fell, and like a kid who star gazes while camping with his father. We were sitting on a brilliant star. I drifted off to sleep and awakened to see my loved ones surrounding me saying their goodbyes. It seems I had left the world and my flesh behind. It felt strange to feel so much love and joy within me, and see all my family and friends still mourning me.
Suddenly a man in a white robe, long hair and a beard put his hand on my shoulder and told me that all of them would soon be here with me. And I, who had died before I could walk, believed every word Jesus, my Messiah had spoke to me.
Real true love is such a precious thing
Unequaled in our human emotions
Certainly way ahead of hate and mistrust
This feeling of absolute devotion
Like no other since the world was new
So honoured and tested by time
Like a soft summer breeze on a starlit night
Like the smell of sweet roses divine
Nothing equals the feeling of love
Not even sweet chocolate fudge
Uh maybe chocolate fudge is pretty close
Naw, love's much sweeter, nudge, nudge
Ahh, I've thought of something sweeter
The smell of a newborn infant
Now who could contest that my friends
Totally divine, like heaven sent
Children shout to drown out society's weeping ---
What kind of future is there for our Youth? ---
Nuclear detonation is close at hand ---
Like a first time mother,
with her newborn infant ---
Don't try to analyze the purpose of
this maze we call life ---
Finding the exit only means death ---
But is that sweet euphoria or
eternal damnation?
Where this road will lead us to my brothers we don't really know? Our life down
here on earth is filled with many bends and twist that sometimes takes us a
dead end street . Sometimes it takes us back to the same place from which we
came from. It’s a road filled with some good times, bad times, friends and foes.
These roads we travel can touch our hearts and change our lives at anytime and
in so many ways. Not one of us knows when that road that we travel will end? My
road that I've travel has had so many bends, curves, hills, bridges and dead end
streets that made me cry like a newborn infant . As you travel that road that you
have chosen to travel upon, with its many streams, peaks and valleys to arrive
at your final destination? Never forget that you have had co-pilot and navigator
that has guided you to your final destination? He gave you his Holy map, that you
only need but to read it and it would get you there safely to your final destination.
God is that navigator and co-pilot who has watched all the time and knew each
turn you would take even before you knew it... No road was unknown to him that
you would decide to take, as you traveled those road to finally destination... As
you pull into Gods Holy Garage for your final inspection.
I need to make a happy one
It’s hard when your heart is pouring out gloom
Like water gushing from a spring
It leaves no room for happiness
I need to make a joyous one
It’s hard when your mind is so concentrated on the sadness
Like blood spilling off a victim’s body
There seems no place for joy
I need to make an inspirational one
It’s hard when everything’s just a blur
Like a newborn infant dying in your hand
There’s no room…no place…no hope
I wish you were here
Oh little one
I’ll cradle you close even as death encloses around you
I can’t make a positive one
But I will write anyway
True love is such a beautiful thing
Unequaled in our human emotions
Eons ahead of hate and mistrust
This feeling of absolute devotion
Like no other since the world was new
So honoured and tested by time
Like a soft summer breeze on a starlit night
Like the smell of sweet roses divine
Nothing equals the feeling of love
Not even sweet chocolate fudge
Uh maybe chocolate fudge is pretty close
Naw, love's much sweeter, nudge, nudge
Ahh, I've thought of something sweeter
The smell of a newborn infant
Now who could contest that my friends
Divine, like it's heaven sent

Friends come and go like season to season…(whatever…sure…)
Dealing with vile clashing commotions for no reason (whatsoever…sir…)
Is there a cure to this heartbreak?
My heart skipped a beat…time spent with you isn’t a treat!!
Race me to see who wins for your sake!
You make me feel kind of incomplete…you aren’t at all neat!

You can’t see me…
Lost in a multitude…
You can’t discover my glee…
I have the attitude of gratitude…
Give me an excuse or a reason
To overcome these waves of emotions
Friends come and go like season to season
Dealing with vile clashing commotions

Learning
Is everywhere.
A constant search,
Never-ending struggle,
An ongoing process
To get further ahead.
From the moment
The newborn infant
Opens his eyes and
Sees the surrounding world,
To the elderly man,
Who sighs one last breath
Closing his eyes
A final time.
The universal truth
Of Forever
Learning.

Who made up all of the rules?
Why did you use me like those worthless tools?
I’m sorry that I hurt you to the extreme
But, you ruined my self-esteem
Give me an excuse or a reason
To overcome these waves of emotions
Friends come and go like season to season
Dealing with vile clashing commotions
Give me an excuse or a reason…I’m going through this depression, making
little progress
To overcome these waves of emotions…and I tried with all of my might to be so
bold
Friends come and go like season to season…I’m going through the grieving
process
Getting a hold of the rope of hold – there’s more future to unfold…it’s still left
untold
Pre-chorus: I thought your grass was green…I’m hopeless… (Oh funny, I
thought you were a good person…I was there for you through thick and thin –
you do not love me anymore)

were in content & we were pleasant)

innocent like a newborn infant)
I have grabbed the rope of hope…I won’t mope…mope…
But, I am nearing my end...the Lord has two hearts to mend
Can you cleanse me with your wisdom, as clean as soap?
We hit a dead end…our bliss, accord, & love perfectly blend
