DLTK's Poems
Where Did You Come From
Baby Dear?
Where did you come from, baby dear?
Out of the
everywhere into here.
Where did you get your eyes so blue?
Out
of the sky as I came through.
What makes the light in them
sparkle and spin?
Some of the starry spikes left in.
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 hooks and bands.
Feet, whence did you come, you darling
things?
From the same box as the cherubs' wings.
How did they
all just 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.
