Day Old Child

Welcome Londyn!

Londyn Pam Kartchner was born Friday April 2, 2010. She weighed 6 lbs. 11 oz and was 19 inches long. As expected from our ultrasound she was born with a cleft lip but we were glad to find she had no cleft palate. She is an absolute doll and we think she's perfect!

MY DAY OLD CHILD

My day old child in my arms

with my lips against her ear

I whispered strongly “How I wish,

I wish that you could hear,”

“I’ve a hundred wonderful things to say

(A tiny cough and nod)

Hurry, hurry, hurry and grow

So I can tell you about God.”

My day old baby’s mouth was still

And my words only tickled her ear,

But a kind of light passed through her eyes,

And I saw this thought appear,

“How I wish I had a voice and words,,

I’ve a hundred things to say

Before I forget, I’d tell you of God,

I left Him yesterday.”
