BABY’S BREATH

I cannot give my heart for nought
For it was bought with drops
Of blood that poured from every pore
And Love that never stops.

I cannot cast my pearls in vain
For they were formed with tears
Of pain that covered every grain –
With Hope that reappears.

I offer everything I am
Without a wince of shame –
For He provided us with Faith –
Protected by His name.
