Now Lord
Bless this child named Julia
Whose lips and nose and eyes
Smeared with skin
You crafted first from dust.

Be more than love,
Be life
To nurture, guide and satisfy
This child
Whose earthly parents are borrowed in time
And whose lineage is read
In the pages of unwritten history

Speak to us again, of miracle.
For this is the miracle moment
When Before turned into After
And the futures timekeepers
Set again their clocks
To the rhythym of life.

Bless Grandma and Grandpa
And Greatgrands too
May Nick and Joanna
Be kept by you.

Amen
