The Eyes of Babies

Babies bring

A message from God

In their eyes

So, as long as they are sealed

With this ultimate Innocence,

And Joy,

And Love

We shall certainly know

That God still believes in

And cares for

Humans.

Lord,

The countless eyes

of babies

who never could speak

beg you:

Stop it!

Lord,

The countless empty laps

of childless mothers

beg You:

Stop it!

Lord,

We do not have

more sacred ways

to pray with.
