quotations about babies
Something to live for came to the place,
Something to die for maybe,
Something to give even sorrow a grace,
And yet it was only a baby!

Only a baby small dropped from the skies,
Only a laughing face, two sunny eyes;
Only two cherry lips, one chubby nose;
Only two little hands, ten little toes....
Only a baby small, never at rest;
Small, but how dear to us, God knoweth best.

And smile, thou little, young inheritor
Of a world scarce less young: sleep on and smile!

Joy is my name."
Sweet joy befall thee!
