- Day Old Child
- My day old child lay 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 a 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."
--Carol Lynn Pearson
I'm a little slow on posting this since Avery is now 4 days old, not one, but I wanted to still share this wonderful poem that I memorized once upon a time as a very little girl. It has always meant a lot to me. I love you, sweet Avery!

Becky, what a beautiful poem. Almost as beautiful as the baby. She is just precious. I sure wish I could be there to hold her. I hope you recovery is going well.
That is a beautiful poem. Thank you for sharing it. And that picture of Avery is just adorable.
I totally memorized this poem when my little brother was born. I love it!
She is absolutely darling! We're so happy for you! It looks like you're following in our footsteps. You better watch out, you might end up with 4 girls in a row like us!! :) Thanks for sharing your precious baby with us!
Good luck with everything.
