Baby Poems

Here's a selection of poetry about babies footprints that you will find
useful.

These little feet have learned to walk
and now they've learned to run...
These little feet just love to dance,
They climb and have some fun...
These little feet don't want to rest,
They only want to play...
These little feet are busy feet,
They're on the go all day...

Here are some poems for newborn babies:

Welcome New Baby

Theresa K. Hardy

Welcome new baby
We celebrate your birth
May you live life to the fullest
All your days here on earth
You were sent here with a purpose
That only you can fulfill
And in your journey through life
There will be roadblocks, but still...
Lean on your faith and an angel
To guide you in whatever you do
So God's perfect plan
Will be completed in you

Poems for Baby

from Sing-Song by Christina Rossetti

Angels at the foot,
And Angels at the head,
And like a curly little lamb
My pretty babe in bed.

or another poem for babies by Christina Rossetti:-

Love me, - I love you,
Love me, my baby;
Sing it high, sing it low,
Sing it as may be.

Mother's arms under you,
Her eyes above you;
Sing it high, sing it low,
Love me - I love you.

Here's something more modern, which captures the delight of a new-born child:-

The First Day

Mewling he comes, sounding like a kitten, not a child.
Yet his eyes draw me to him, lost and looking for meaning,
looking for the one to give him purpose.
His mother, me, called to care and protect.
Love and respond, feed and nurture.
This I will do, until the day comes he can don his own shoes,
clothe and feed himself, ready to become a man.

Infant Joy

William Blake.

"I have no name;
I am but two days old."
What shall I call thee?
"I happy am,
Joy is my name."
Sweet joy befall thee!
Pretty joy!
Sweet joy, but two days old.
Sweet Joy I call thee:
Thou dost smile,
I sing the while;
Sweet joy befall thee!

Poem from Mother To Be

I love you, little baby
You're such a part of me.
Can't wait to hold you in my arms,
And hug you tenderly.
No matter what you look like,
You're beautiful, my love,
A precious gift bequeathed to me,
from heaven far above.
Each time I feel you moving,
My heart is filled with joy,
To think that very soon I'll hold
My little girl or boy,
I'm counting every moment,
Til you're mine at last my sweet
It won't be long until your birth,
Then finally we'll meet.
