In celebration and thanksgiving at my newest granddaughter’s safe arrival and for the purpose of blessing her based on her given name, I offer these few lines of verse. These poems come with prayers for salvation, purity, witness, and safety for my posterity.
Graced with God’s bounty fair
Oh, may it be Miss Annalise
With others plenty share
What you receive also release
Copious intense joy
From God’s supply Felicity
No shadow of alloy
A pure heart, no duplicity
This world an evil place
Will try to drag you down for sure
But trusting in His grace
Know well God in Christ and be pure
Inner beauty reveal
In the midst of troubles and pain
That Christ become more real
And the Gospel become more plain
So a true Francis be
In all faith and freedom in Christ
That people clearly see
God’s riches in Christ sacrificed
