Brand New Baby

Today I saw a brand new baby girl,
all wrapped in pink,
sound asleep in her pram,
oblivious to the world.
And I thought to myself,
“Oh, she is so beautiful!”

God gave me a wee nudge,
raised an eyebrow
and laughed.
“Guess what, Claire?” he said,
“That’s just how I see you!
I think that you’re amazing,
fantastic,
not for anything that you do,
but just for being you!”
