Endless were the prayers we cried out to our Lord above,

“Jesus, please bless us with a child of our own to love.”

Joyful were the tears we cried on that day,

when we learned a miracle had been sent our way.

How can we thank You, God, for this precious gift?

Our hearts are filled with gladness, our praises we lift!

Amazing is this tiny wonder created by Your hand.

Innocent with a pureness only new life can understand.

Warm tiny fingers reach out and grasp against our own.

The sweetest touch humankind has ever known.

If ever you see us rearing amiss, please come to our aid.

Remind us daily, Your Majesty, it was for this child we prayed.
