Elijah's Baptism Day

Three infants born this year are all of Grandma’s pride and joy,
And Grandpa is all busting buttons for each one a boy,
We have an older Grandson, who has turned the age of five,
He is the leader of this crew and loves to watch them thrive.

And on this Sunday family will meet upon this date,
The youngest will be baptized to our God we’ll dedicate-
His life to further learning of the sweet and gentle ways,
Of Jesus Christ our Savior who will watch him all his days.

Each one the grandsons all were Christened; each a special time,
Their loving parents held their infants with a love sublime,
And in the church before their God they stated here and now,
That their young son would learn the faith and each professed this vow.

And afterward we’ll celebrate the son, husband and wife,
For on this day and forward they have entered a great life,
How rich the family in love and faith will always be,
True bound by love from Heaven and for all eternity.
