Newborn

Written by Lois Linkens

Cease your crying, little one,

your time on earth has scarce begun.

There will be time to push and shove,

but as you lie, you’re bound in love. In

these small moments, soft and still, the

world is turning at His will. Stay close,

my child, to what is true, for He did

wonderfully, making you.
