You know the saying, “A picture is worth a thousand words”? Well, this has to qualify as one of those types a images. It is one of my FAVORITE pictures of me and my daughter one day old daughter at the time. That is why when I came across this amazing poem written by Carol Lynn Pearson I had to use it. It was originally written for a boy. Titled “My day old child” it reads:
My day old child in my arms with my lips against her ear I whispered strongly "How I wish, I wish that you could hear,
"I've a hundred wonderful things to say (A tiny cough and nod) Hurry, hurry, hurry and grow so I can tell you about God."
My day old baby's mouth was still and my words only tickled her ear, but a kind of light passed through her eyes, and I saw this thought appear,
"How I wish I had a voice and words, I've a hundred things to say, Before I forget, I'd tell you of God, I left Him yesterday."
