A Newborn Baby's Prayer
|
|
Dear Lord, I am so newly come,
I do not even know my name.
I do not even know yet, Lord,
If I am glad I came.
Grant me the time to grow in love,
Rejoice that I am here.
Bless those who make me warm and dry,
Lord, keep my mother near.

Note from GranGran: I've been told this was written by Dorothea Warren Fox
This was confirmed when I received a message from her daughter, Rebecca Fox
Rice, saying "You are right. The newborn's prayer was written by my mother,
Dorothea Fox. The plaque where it first appeared was also illustrated by her."
