Baby

A Prayer For Little One
(c) by Sarah M. Menkin

This poem was originally written before my niece Jennifer Annette Menkin was born in 1995. It is now rededicated to Jennifer and Matthew's "Little One" due in 2018.

 

May your life be filled with a blessedness
that's felt from your "birthday start,"
a trust of God in your infant mind,
a desire for God in your heart...
a will to follow the way of Christ,
faith held strong in every gale,
an early turning -- a tender yearning
toward Him who can never fail.


May your mind be blessed,
and be true and strong,
with God as its central theme;
and may early you trust
that He is real --
and greater than every dream.


May all your days
radiate His praise,
and your tongue bless His name
and say...
"Let all be done as is His will...
In Jesus' name I pray."
Amen.
