Wond’rous Child You Are Heaven Sent



Describing you beautiful child
You are so sweet with heart so mild
Come from a place I never went
Wond’rous child you are heaven sent

Intelligent eyes dark and blue
Curious mind is driving you
In my heart is where your love went
Wond’rous child you are heaven sent

Gifted are you with golden heart
Inspiring this attempt at art
Every word is truly meant
Wond’rous child you are heaven sent

These four verses are not enough
Filled up with rhyme and other fluff
To describe what I really meant
Wond’rous child you are heaven sent
