Evelyn Elizabeth She came to us sweetly into the morning Wrapped so completely in petals of pink Delicate rose bud, unfurling her splendor A silhouette rendered in God’s holy ink She came on a white wing, of angel soft feather As God sent her tenderly down to the earth She came in the silence of life’s expectation Of heart’s celebration of love and of birth A ribbon surrounding the light of her essence Had already bound child to mother at once She came with gold threads woven into a family Embracing a father and two little sons She placed tiny fingers upon her sweet cheeks The scent of her lingers in wraps she has worn The fragrance of purity, face of the innocent A baby was heaven sent, tenderly born She came to us gently, on breezes of glory God’s beautiful story is being retold She came to us sweetly in breath of the morning So precious and warming, a gift to behold She came in God’s presence, his vigil above her To guide and to love her from moment of birth And He will be with her some day when she gives The same gift that lives in her future on earth She came to us gently in sun’s gleaming light Wrapped in a soft angel feather of white Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 08-30-2001).] |

She came to us sweetly into the morning Wrapped so completely in petals of pink Delicate rose bud, unfurling her splendor A silhouette rendered in God’s holy ink She came on a white wing, of angel soft feather As God sent her tenderly down to the earth She came in the silence of life’s expectation Of heart’s celebration of love and of birth A ribbon surrounding the light of her essence Had already bound child to mother at once She came with gold threads woven into a family Embracing a father and two little sons ============================== OH MY what a stunning poem your name sake new granddaughter has inspired in you... I predict this is just the begining of the beauty your angel muse will gift you with, she fills your heart and it spills over to your pen. Congratulations Lizzie   |
