ADD TO MY FAVORITES
The downy softness of their hair
Angelic smiles to melt hard hearts
And snuggling close with care
I love the gurgle of happy laughter
So spontaneous and free
Every action true and honest
As it should always be
But the thing I love the most
Of these God’s tiny ones
Is the scent of innocence and purity
That’s strongest in newborns
Talcum powder, baby wipes
Lotion and shampoo
These cannot compare, O little ones
To the very essence of you
We have that sweet pure baby smell
When we are born anew
As earnest praise and honest hearts
We lift up unto You
But time goes by and people change
As we begin to grow
Soon murmured prayers and grateful thanks
Are done all just for show
A sweat-stained brow and callused palms
We offer to our King
Without the fragrance of our first love
It’s not pleasing unto Him
Consider, brethren from whence we came
Persecuted and alone
Rejected and ashamed
Until our sins were atoned
Forgiven, accepted, loved, reborn
Lord, if we remember these
Then our praise would always be
A savor unto Thee
