Simple Baby Blessing
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
May you grow and be happy every day
May love be with you in many ways
May sunshine follow you wherever you go
And may those who surround you always know
How special you are and blessed are they
To be able to watch over you as you play
Bless This Child
Poet: Kate Summers
God please bless this child
May challenges that face them, be mild
Help them to grow in your ways
And may they come to know you in all their days.
Watch over them we do pray
Keep them safe every day
Bless their families with lots of love
May they feel your presence from above.
So Blessed
Poet: Unknown
This little tiny baby,
Was sent from God above,
To fill our hearts with happiness,
And touch our lives with love,
He must have known,
We’d give our all,
And always do our best.
To give our precious baby love,
And be grateful and so blessed.
Safe Keeping
Poet: Julie Hebert, ©2011
So beautiful are thee,
When babies lay sleep.
They lay there knowing,
Their parents safe keep.
Such innocence beams,
Across their little face.
Partly covered by teddy,
He's always on the case.
Our children depend,
On us for many things.
Safe keeping is essential,
Always for us to bring.
How important it is,
For our children to know,
We feel blessed and love them,
The extra mile we will always go.
These poems about God's blessings remind us to give thanks for His love, guidance, and care throughout every stage of life.
The Mother's Prayer
Poet: Eloise Hardy Thatcher
Thou art very sweet, my baby!
With thine eyes of deepest blue -
Their long and silken lashes.
So gently peeping through.
Thou art very fair, my baby!
With thine open, placid brow;
Thy dimpled cheeks, and playful smile,
A beauteous babe art thou!
Thou art very good, my baby!
In thy soft and gentle sleep,
The quiet rest of innocence,
A slumber - calm, yet deep!
That God will bless thee, baby!
Thy precious life to spare.
And make thee pure as He is pure
Shall be thy mother's prayer.
Baby Blessing
May you be blessed with a spirit of gentleness,
a heart that is tender.
May you be blessed with a spirit of strength,
shining within you.
May you be blessed with a spirit of compassion,
a fervent caring.
May you be blessed with a spirit of courage,
daring to be who you are.
May you be blessed with a spirit of openness,
understanding, and respect.
May the earth hold you.
May the wind lift you ever up.
May the fire draw and warm you.
May the water quench and soothe your soul.
