Precious babe with heaven-kissed skin
open wide your blue-sky eyes
to the family that welcomes you in.
Precious babe with heaven-kissed skin
this wide world groans under pains of sin
but LOVE can be found if you learn from the wise.
Precious babe with heaven-kissed skin
open wise your blue-sky eyes.

learning from the wise is a good thing and makes us fit for life…and the sooner we teach those little ones about that wisdom, the better

Dynamite triolet; and kudos for making it so invisible as a form, just hammering the sweet message, until we hum it while gardening or commuting; thanks.
