George Macdonald - Baby Poem Poem by Darwin Henry Beuning
George Macdonald - Baby Poem
Baby,
Where did you come from, Baby dear?
Out of the everywhere into here.
Where did you get those eyes so blue?
Out of the sky as I came through.
Where did you get that little tear?
I found it waiting when I got here.
What makes your forehead so smooth and high?
A soft hand stroked it as I went by.
What makes your cheek like a warm white rose?
I saw something better than anyone knows.
Whence that three-cornered smile of bliss?
Three Angels gave me at once - A kiss.
Where did you get this pearly ear?
God spoke and it came out to hear.
Where did you get those arms and hands?
Love made itself into bonds and bands.
Feet, whence did you come, you darling things?
From the same box as the Cherub Wings.
How did they come to be you?
God thought about me and so I grew.
But, how did you come to us you dear?
God thought about you and so I am here!

Oops - - - I said McDoanld in my earlier comment, and it is MacDonald. Hank, this poem is already posted under his own name. Thy have something like 436 of his poems here!
Kim, Good Morning. I looked at his site. Lots of poems. I see he only had two comments on his poem - Baby. I am glad to be able to point out his most outstanding achievement.
This poem by George McDonald is very nice. Since he is not around to share his own work, thanks for sharing it! (Did you check first to see if it was already here on Poem Hunter under his own name?)
