The Baby Tree

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if Babies grew on Trees
and those who had no children could pluck one off with ease.
It wouldn’t make much difference if they’re clad in pink or blue
Each precious tiny bundle would be God’s gift of love to you
If there is such a garden with Babies plump and cute
Dear Lord, please let Me be the one to tend the Blessed Fruit.
