Only a Baby Small ~ A Poem by Matthias Barr

Only a Baby Small

Matthias Barr

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 golden head,
Curly and soft;
Only a tongue that wags
Loudly and oft;

Only a little brain,
Empty of thought;
Only a little heart,
Troubled with naught.

Only a tender flower
Sent us to rear;
Only a life to love
While we are here;

Only a baby small,
Never at rest;
Small, but how dear to us,
God knoweth best.

Only ~ A Poem by Harriet Prescott Spofford

Harriet Prescott Spofford

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!

Cooing, and laughter, and gurgles, and cries,
Dimples for tenderest kisses,
Chaos of hopes, and of raptures, and sighs,
Chaos of fears and of blisses.

Last year, like all years, the rose and the thorn;
This year a wilderness maybe;
But heaven stooped under the roof on the morn
That it brought them only a baby.

Think About It ~ Take the Time

by

Take the time the to gaze at a beautiful sunset and wonder. Take the time to walk outside in the dark night and look up to the sky and wonder. Take the time to let a baby curl his/her fingers around your pinkie and wonder. Take the time to watch birds darting around and wonder. Life is beautiful and full of wonder. We are a part of it. Take time to gaze at yourself in the mirror and wonder. You are a miracle.

Today’s Good Word ~ Little Things

by

I like the little things. Little things like a baby squeezing my finger. Little things like a rainy Sunday morning. Little things like a phone call from a loved one. Little things like my favorite song playing when unexpected. Little things like a text from a friend wishing me well. Little things like hearing my three favorite words, “I love you.” The little things are really the big things, don’t lose one of them.
