God's Masterpiece

God's Masterpiece

From graceful lilies pure and white,

God fashioned lovely skin

Forgetmenots 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 made is blossom there.

Then with His magic fingers picked

Two morning glories white;

Curled and shaped your little ears,

Soon they were fastened tight.

That crowing 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!
