OH, ELIZABETH, WHAT GENTLE WHISPERS,
ARE IMPLANTED IN YOUR LITTLE BROW.

ONLY IF THOU COULDST IMPART TO US,

WHAT THE ANGELS HAVE TOLD YOU.

SO THAT WE MIGHT BETTER BE ABLE TO
WITHSTAND THIS UNPERCEIVABLE MYSTERY.

 

OH, YE OF BEAUTIFUL BLUE EYES,

OH, YE OF CHERUB FEATURES.

 YOU HAUNT OUR DAYS AND OUR NIGHTS,

 AS WE HOLD YOU SO CLOSE TO OUR HEARTS.

WE ARE MOST THANKFUL FOR THOSE,
 MIRACLES THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED.

 FOR IN RECEIVING YOU, OUR LITTLE DARLING.

WE HAVE SURELY VISITED WITH,
 THOSE VERY ANGELS THAT SENT YOU TO US.

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DARLING

 

This poem was written for our little granddaughter
who was born with "Aicardi Syndrome"....in honor of her

4th birthday...
