There's Nothing Like A Baby's Smile

This poem was written when my sister, CJ, had her second son, Jason, approximately 1988? (how old IS my nephew anyway?). It was also published in the book "Windows of the Soul , the National Library of Poetry in 1996. A little cheesy, I'll admit, but I like it!

There's nothing like a baby's smile
To brighten up your day.
A smile so warm and full of love
To send you on your way.

There's nothing like a baby's smile
To let you know how much
Of the pleasure they can give to you
By their little kiss or touch.

There's nothing like a baby's smile
To make you feel so warm,
To make you count your blessing
for the day that they were born.

There's nothing like a baby's smile,
So cheery and so bright.
It makes you want to pick them up
and hold them very tight!

There's nothing like a baby's smile,
Nothing on this earth.
It's the final bit of evidence
of the miracle of birth.


"A baby is God's opinion that life should go on." ----- Carl Sandburg
