Poet’s Page ~ November 2009

One of the loveliest experiences I know is having a new baby in my life. I recently became the godparent of two little boys… twins who were born a few weeks ago. Being able to spend time with them is always welcome and memorable.

The following poem was written for these little guys and all the other newly arrived babies.

Two Little Lives

These little lives are big lives!
Filled with the promise of worth.
These little lives are new lives!
Bringing new joy to the earth.

Two little lives with purpose and plan,
Each little boy with the soul of a man.

Two little minds, alight from above.
Two little hearts whose rhythm is love.

Two little sons that are ready to feel
Part of a family whose welcome is real.

These little lives are big lives!
Finding their place in the sun!
Come, let us give them our blessing!
Two little lives… just begun!
