God's Masterpiece

 

From graceful lilies pure and white,

God fashioned lovely skin,

Forget-me-nots he chose for eyes,

Then formed your baby chin.

 

He took a tulip bright and red --

Twas one that did not fade,

A softer, sweeter little mouth

Before was never made.

 

Another flower next He used --

A rosebud, pink and fair,

Touched it to your dimpled cheeks

And bade it blossom there.

 

Then with His magic fingers picked

Two morning glories white,

Curled and shaped your little ears,

Soon they were fastened tight.

 

That crowning bit of golden down

Will soon become your hair,

He gathered pollen from the flowers,

And sprinkled it with care.

 

For dainty little fingers dear

And precious, tiny toes,

He used slender daisy frills,

A snowdrop made your nose.

 

This world and all within it

He created here for man,

But Baby was "God's Masterpiece"

Since time and life began!
