Christening Poem

This precious new life
Came to light up the world,
That very first smile
Small fingers unfurled.
On this Christening Day
We gather in prayer
Keep this little one close
And safe in God's care.
To know such a blessing
Is a gift from above,
This promise for the future
Surrounded by love.
