pure and white

god fashioned lovely skin

forget me nots he chose for eyes

then formed your lovely chin

he took a tulip bright and red

twas one that would not fade

a softer sweeter little mouth

before ws never made

another flower next he used

a rosebud pink and fair

touched it to your dimpled cheeks

and bade it blossom there

then with his magic fingers

picked two morning glories white

curled and shaped your little ears

soon they were fastened tight

that crowning bit of golden down

will soon become your hair

he gathered pollen from the flowers

and sprinkled it with care

for dainty little fingers dear

and precious tiny toes

he used the slender daisy frills

a snowdrop made your nose

this world and all within it

he created here for man

but john was gods masterpiece

since time and life began
