[back]A Hallmark Blessing for the Little One Byrne brightly fair Althea Sage And share some knowing smiles With one who loves you far away And sends across the miles: Three fairy wishes, clear and true To welcome you to Earth I hope your joy is equal Mine at your October birth. So tell me now, before you speak Of all your wildest hope I'll do my best to help create The space for dreams, the scope For finding more each passing day The wonder and the love, In oceans, forests, and of course The universe above. Your 'rents adore you more than life, The rest of family too, So adding my voice to that fray, Sweet Thea, I love you!
