Welcome

“Welcome to the spinning world,” the people sang,
as they washed your new tiny hands.

“Welcome to the green Earth,” the people sang,
as they wrapped your wet, slippery body.

And as they held you close
they whispered into your open, curving ear,
“We are so glad you’ve come!”

-- On the Day You Were Born


We have a new little one among us. What a blessing. Welcome, welcome, little one, fresh from God, full of light.
