God Bless You, Little One A baby is a gift, a blessing that makes our lives worthwhile, As they complete us, give us purpose and always manage to make us smile. Their cuddles, snuggles, and soft kisses can brighten up any day. And its amazing that even just watching them sleep can make all our problems simply fade away. When they gently clasp your finger or you gaze down at their cute little feet, We are reminded every day just how precious they are, so perfect and oh so sweet. We have come together with our family and friends on this absolutely perfect day To ask God if he could look after this princess as she goes on her way. We pray that He will keep her healthy and safe and always be her guide, And that he will be there for her when she needs him to be right by her side. As we watch her grow and learn, I hope she always learns right from wrong. May she be little warrior, brave and fearless, but at the same time, kind, gentle yet strong. May she never stop following her dreams and reach for the highest stars in the sky. Help her believe and achieve and let her spirits always fly high. We hope that she will be respectful, humble, honest and true. A life filled with pure happiness is what we all wish for you. May she always be surrounded by laughter and her heart always filled with love. And from this moment, we pray that she will be forever faithful to the Lord above. God bless you, little angel; may you never stop wearing a golden halo, And my wish for you is that your life will always be like a rainbow. Perfect in every single way and just so beautiful to see, A life that will be intriguing and as colorful as can be. By Ilona M. Blake RECENT POEM OF THE DAY POSTS
