I Want To See The Baby ⋆ A Delightful Glow

Gazing at the Baby in the Manger

I want to see the baby in the manger, yes, I do,

I want to gaze upon him with a child’s eyes and view,

I want to see him all wrapped up in his swaddling clothes,

I want to gaze upon his little fingers and his toes,

I want to smooth his hair, all downy, soft, and fuzzy,

I want to hold him close to me, all snug, and oh so cuddly,

I want to kiss his cheek, so soft and sweet and smooth,

I want to watch him yawn and blink and watch him stretch and move,

I want to pat his little back and smell his baby smell,

I want to see the baby who doeth all things well.

I want to see the baby, I want Him to dwell in me,

I want to see the baby for He has set me free,

I want to see the baby and be lost in child-like love,

I can’t wait to see the baby and live with Him above!

Amen! Amazing love story…isn’t it? Thanks for sharing your poem….I like it!

What a beautiful way to end my Christmas Eve Day! 🙂 You are gifted with words like your Dad! Seeing your kids with baby Jesus makes me think.. This week we “lost” him from the nativity and I asked L where baby Jesus went. He patted his heart and said,”hot hot” (for heart:). Guess he’s right.. He left the manger to live in our hearts! Merry Christmas to you and your family!!
