This is a poem and a couple of quotes I came across in some picture albums that someone gave to me. I thought first of all it was interesting that men wrote all three. Secondly, how pretty they were. Enjoy.
Small voice that sings,
New little beating heart...
The sun doth shine,
The earth doth spin,
For welcome-- enter in
This green and daisied sphere,
Rejoice-- and have no fear.
- Richard Le Gallienne
The smile that flickers on baby's lips
when he sleeps- does anybody know where it was born?
Yes, there is a rumour that a young pale beam of a
crescent moon touched the edge of a vanishing
autumn cloud, and there the smile was first born
in the dream of a dew-washed morning.
- Rabindranath Tagore (do you think Ben and I should name our next child Rabindranath?)
A baby in the house is a well-spring of pleasure,
a messenger of peace and love, a resting place for
innocence on earth, a link between angels and men.
- Martin Farquhar Tupper
