Wings reflecting the moon at sunrise,
Settled upon the child with no sin;
In water and parents, he was baptized.
His heart now lit, from a light within.
Shadows may cover his smile
As his youth transitions into understanding;
From failure to the success, patient all the while,
Like a crawl… to standing… to running,
For no minds’ reason at all.
He will awake during his life time
With a drop of water, a tear of joy
Running down his face; acknowledging his mother and father,
Being born under an ivory Host, with a visitor without error,
Or mistake. His Guardian Angel,
For whom, he will never forsake.

This is so beautiful. Made me remember my grandchildren’s baptism, which I officiated. Such a special day to remember.

Amen. It is so. So that is what Baptism is for!

The dedication of a child is a wonderful thing. I have done it with my sons but also adminstered it for several families. As a parent it is my hope they are watched over in all their days, espcially at the age of my kids now, learning to make their own way.

Shadows may cover his smile
He is blessed but he must be wary of negative factors which may still be bearing down on him!
