My Journey to God

Messenger of God

Oh gracious day!
Oh joyful day!
The promise of life
Makes a new way!

Messenger of God,
Springing forth from the womb,
Shoves aside with a nod
Our trudge to the tomb.

Such innocent life!
Bright sparkling eyes!
Sweet, full lips
Mouthing “Goo goo, gaw gaw!”

Whenever we doubt
Our Maker’s saving grace,
We have but to gaze
At a babe’s smiling face.
