A NEW BABY
*original poetry by : Jill Fantinã
( 5X7 Print - J5052 )
A cradle nestles in the corner of our bedroom now.
Now the old routine we share is busier somehow.
Enchanting little lullabyes mingle through perfume. ©
With talcum powder fragrances that drift around the room
Bibs and diapers blend right in with linens everywhere.
And little toys and teddy bears are scattered here and there.
But awkwardly the what to do's as parents keep us guessing.
Yet loving overwhelms our hearts just for our precious
Blessing!

PSALM 127:3
If a child lives with criticism,
He learns to condemn.
If a child lives with hostility,
He learns to fight.
If a child lives with ridicule,
He learns to be shy.
If a child lives with shame,
He learns to feel guilty.
If a child lives with tolerance,
He learns to be patient.
If a child lives with encouragement,
He learns confidence.
If a child lives with praise,
He learns to appreciate.
If a child lives with fairness,
He learns justice.
If a child lives with security,
He learns to have faith.
If a child lives with approval,
He learns to like himself.
If a child lives with acceptance & friendship,
He learns to find love in the world.
CHOOSE LIFE
*original poetry by : Jill Fantinã
( 8x10 Print - J2118 )
Choose life © for me © please Mother…for I really want to live. ©
Hold steadfast © for there is nothing Jesus won't forgive.
Only one in all the world! I'm special © don't you see?
Only one …for there's no other child quite like me! ©
So many mothers act in haste…but they end up the same.
Eventually to live a life of guilt and grief and shame
Look into your heart © dear Mom © and hear my faint appeal.
I'm more than just an embryo…I kick! I breathe! I feel! ©
For is you terminate my life © the love we might have known ©
Eventually will find you feeling empty and alone!
CLEANING AND SCRUBBING
( 8x10 Heart Mat - 0157 )
Cleaning and scrubbing can wait 'til tomorrow
For babies grow up © we've learned to our sorrow,
So quiet down cobwebs
Dust go to sleep ©
I'm rocking my baby
and
babies don't keep!

Have you ever seen a baby
that matched so perfectly
With a Mommy and a Daddy
As they smile so happily
Head to toe he is just perfect
From that crooked little grin
To precious fingers, tiny toes
And oh, the softest skin!
Our open arms were blessed by God
When in them he was laid
He's just what we'd have ordered
If we'd had him custom made!

In the evening hours,
As the closing of the day.
Heaven's light shined upon our hearts
In a very special way
All our hopes and dreams came true
An angel came to earth
We witnessed God's greatest miracle
Our precious baby's birth
He's truly a gift from heaven
This perfect baby boy
With all the love our hearts can give,
We welcome him into our world.
In exchange for this gift we make a
Promise to the Lord above.
To share with our son the meaning
Of life
And show him the ways
Of love.

GOD'S CHILD

God in all His tenderness © looked down upon the earth…
Opening the heavens as He sent you down through birth.
Dedicating you in love to always be His own. ©
Sincerely through His promise that you'll never be alone.
Cherished more than words can say © or life could ever bless.
Holding close our precious girl © our source of happiness. ©
In all you do throughout your life…remember in His love…to
Lean on God for all your needs © as strength comes from above.
Dedicate your life to Him © as he has done for you ©
And let Him be The Master over everything
You do!
WITH GENTLE FOOTPRINTS
Written by : Margie Starke ( at the birth of her son, Kevin )

With gentle footprints
She came into our hearts…
And somehow…
We know our lives will
Never be the same!
LEGACY OF AN ADOPTED CHILD
( Birth Announcement . . . this piece allows you to include name, birth date, weight and
length )
( 8x10 Print - 0136 )
Children are a gift from God © © © © They are his reward!
PSALM 127:3
Once there were two women © who never knew each other.
One you do not remember © the other you call "Mother."
Two different lives shaped…to make your life one. ©
One became your guiding star. © The other became your sun. ©
The first one gave you life…and the second taught you to live in it.
The first gave you the need for love © The second was there to give it.
One gave you a nationality. © The other gave you a name.
One gave you the seed of talent…the other gave you aim.
One gave you emotion…The other calmed your fears.
One saw your first sweet smile…The other dried your tears. ©
One gave you up…It was all that she could do.
The other prayed for a child © And God led her straight to you.
And now you ask me through your tears…
The age-old question through the years.
Heredity or environment-Which are you the product of?
Neither © my darling © Neither!
Just two different kinds of love.
NOW I LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP
( 5x7 Print - 05225 )
Now, I lay me
down to sleep
I pray the Lord
My soul to keep.
May Angels watch me
Through the night
And keep me 'til
The morning light.
OUR PREMATURE ANGEL
*original poetry by : Jill Fantinã
( 8x10 Print - J2160 )
Our little wisp of happiness © Our little budding rose.
Unbelievable are you from your head to tiny toes.
Rocking you so gently for our love we can't conceal. ©
Perfect in most every way © You almost don't seem real.
Running just ahead of schedule © being oh so small . ©
Excited that you came so soon © though you surprised us all.
Maybe you came early, but too soon you couldn't be.
As we were waiting with our arms wide open lovingly.
To hold you, is to have a bit of heaven in our arms.
Until you came © we just anticipated tiny, little charms.
Reality of having you to love and hug and kiss. ©
Envelopes us in puffy clouds of talcum powder bliss. ©
A little cherub soft and sweet © so special in each way.
Now we'll fondly watch you grow and gain new strength each day.
Giving all our deepest love to you from heart to heart. ©
Embracing you with blessings for a firm and stable start.
Little one whom God has sent in smaller version now
Just wait a couple of years and watch the mirror
Whistle
"WOW!"
