Babies Are Poet: Catherine Pulsifer, ©2012 Babies are a gift. Each with their own uniqueness. So cuddly and small It is hard to believe that they will crawl. Happiness is what they bring Even with all the babbling They grow so fast A baby they won't last. Cooing and smiling Wetting the bedding Eating and sleeping Whatever they do we are cheering. Even the most aged See a baby and they are engaged Babies melt our heart They truly are a work of God's art. Thankful For My Child Before you were born, my life was a bore. Really, your Dad and I slept so much longer! But even though you, get us up in the dew, Having you, made us much stronger Our love for you came, from the moment we acclaimed, We were having a baby in 40 weeks. All the happy tears were sent to us with big cheers, From family and friends with great shrieks.... Read the entire poem, Thankful For My Child Baby Fingers Poet: Mrs. Richard Grant White Ten fat little fingers, so taper and neat, Ten fat little fingers, so rosy and sweet, Eagerly reaching for all that comes near, Now poking your eyes out, now pulling your hair, Smoothing and patting, with velvet-like touch, Then digging your cheeks with a mischievous clutch; Gently waving good-by with infantine grace, Then dragging your bonnet down over your face; Beating pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, slow and sedate, Then tearing a book at a furious rate; Then thumping the window with tightly closed fist; Now lying asleep, all dimpled and warm, On the white cradle-pillow, secure from all harm — Oh, dear baby hands ! how much love you enfold In the weak, careless clasp of those fingers' soft hold! Keep spotless, as now, through the world's evil ways, And bless, with fond care, our last weariful days. Welcome Baby I wonder little one, who you will be As I feel you wriggle inside of me. The turbulent surges of joy that I sense, The feeling of awe while I’m bound in suspense. Will your hair be curly? Will your eyes be blue? When you come, will my world revolve around you? Will you bring us the joy that others speak of? Will our lives be filled with even more love.... Read More Words to Welcome Baby

Sweet babe, once like thee Thy Maker lay and wept for me — Wept for me, for thee, for all, When He was an infant small. Thou His image ever see, Heavenly face that smiles on thee — Smiles on thee, on me, on all; Who became an infant small. Infant smiles are His own smiles; Heaven and earth to peace beguiles. How Much Does A Baby Cost How much do babies cost?" said he The other night upon my knee; And then I said: "They cost a lot; A lot of watching by a cot, A lot of sleepless hours and care, A lot of heartache and despair, A lot of fear and trying dread, And sometimes many tears are shed In payment for our babies small, But every one is worth it all.

Soft in the lap of the mother night The wee baby stars, all glowing and bright, Flutter their silver wings and crow To the watchful winds that kiss as they blow lo Round the air-cradle that swings so low Down in the lap of the mother night. Sleep, little baby, sleep, sleep, sleep. Red is the moon in the night's still deep. And the wee baby stars are all folded and kissed In a luminous cradle of silver mist; And if ever they waken the winds cry, Whist, Sleep, little baby, sleep, sleep, sleep.
