Love's evolving circle
With joy will now expand
Age has brought new youth
To the worn and gentle hand

Heart is all afire
With beauty that goes on
The never ending miracle
We all depend upon

Child of gentle softness
Held closely to the heart
Knows the joyous meaning
This tenderness imparts

Feel her heart that's beating
So deep with the chest
Hearts of life rejoicing
This child of love now blest

Wisdom born with beauty
Is always waiting there
To hear the heart in whisper
Of loving gentle prayer

Child now knows the wonder
With touch of love defined
Growing in this bounty
With joy her heart designed.
