I am dedicating this page to an online
friend of mine, Linda, who is a
very special
person and a very special grandmother.
~Baby~
Where did you come from, baby dear?
Out of the everywhere into here.
~~~~~~~~~~
Where did you get those eyes so blue?
Out of the sky as I came through.
~~~~~~~~~~
What makes the light in them sparkle and spin?
Some of the starry spikes left in.
~~~~~~~~~~
Where did you get that little tear?
I found it waiting when I got here.
~~~~~~~~~~
What makes your forehead so smooth and high?
A soft hand stroked it as I went by.
~~~~~~~~~~
What makes your cheek like a warm white rose?
I saw something better than anyone knows.
~~~~~~~~~~
Whence that three-cornered smile of bliss?
Three angels gave me at once a kiss.
~~~~~~~~~~
Where did you get this pearly ear?
God spoke, and it came out to hear.
~~~~~~~~~~
Where did you get those arms and hands?
Love made itself into bonds and bands.
~~~~~~~~~~
Feet, from whence did you come, you darling things?
From the same box as the cherubs' wings.
~~~~~~~~~~
How did they all just come to you?
God thought about me, and so I grew.
~~~~~~~~~~
But how did you come to us, you dear?
God thought about you, so I am here.
