You are His precious child,
created in His very image.
He spoke the words that brought you into existence.

He kissed your face to give you your smile.
He looked deeply into your eyes and touched your soul,
to give you compassion and a mind like unto His.

He placed within you
a spark of His radiance
to bring a twinkle to your eyes.

He lightly stroked your head
to give you a crown of wavy hair
to blow in the wind as the storms of life come and go.

Before He was finished,
He held you on His lap and embraced you,
filling you with strength and endurance,
peace and love,
to see you through each and every day of your life.
