FRAGILE AND SMALL

FRAGILE AND SMALL

A child is born, fragile and small.
We relish, lull
in sweet delight ~
oh tranquil sight.

As laughter falls upon us all,
we then extol
this warming light
with face so bright!

At home though baby oft’ will squall,
we heed the call;
our lives alight ~
then kiss good-night.
