In My Garden - Benjamin - January 11, 1995

Benjamin - January 11, 1995
On the eleventh of January in the year
Of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-five,
The gates of heaven opened a little way
And a small angel came through
To find himself at last
Amid the wonders of this earth.
He had waited long
To come into these outstretched arms
Awaiting him
And on that day the love
Of these earthly parents surrounded him.
Now he finds his world
A happy wondrous place of discovery.
From sunrise to sunset
He explores and explores and explores
Today within the safe haven of his home
But tomorrow
His feet will take him into that which lies
Beyond the door.
So hold him close now
And prepare him for the world
He'll be a part of.
Never completely
That gate of Heaven close
So he'll know from whence he came,
And why,
And of the love that brought him forth
To walk upon God's footstool.
