Baby Angel Gabriel

2/17/21

Your namesake brought news to a maiden

That she would be the mother of God

Young and fearful she bravely said yes

An inspiration for your doting mom and dad

Who said yes to their long wait for you

Who each day say yes

With their tender smiles and loving words

Who say yes

Leaving for work while they are missing you

Your eyes, your smile, the sheer joy of you

Who say yes

Waking up bleary eyed to soothe you

Sheltering you in their sleepy embrace

Their love, their hope lifts you

With every yes carried in their open hands

of quiet sacrifice

A poem for my baby nephew, Angel who is named after the Angel Gabriel from the Bible.
