Prayer at Three Months

Father of all, great and small alike,

at three months old and only three inches long,

"Christopher" is insignificant in the estimation

of many; yet even this tiny human being

has a unique set of fingerprints.

Help us to learn that no matter how small,

every human being is unique in your eyes.

You already know  "Christopher" 's real name;

You know every choice he will ever make.

One day the umbilical cord through which

he now "breathes" will be cut, but the bonds

of love and knowledge which bind him

to You and You to him can never be cut.
