The baby
What surprises
does life hold for you
my little one:
happiness, health,
privilege,
a life in the sun.
Or, will it
be hunger,
fear and disease,
fight for survival,
a bitter deep freeze.
Sometimes, I guess
it's a matter of luck,
spinning that Louis D'Or,
famine or flood,
fire or drought,
peacetime or war.
May your God smile
graciously on you
and may he bring
contentment and
that very rare gift
of helping humanity sing.
It’s a big issue, to try to take some of that randomness out of life. Overall, it covers so many smaller issues.
