Dear Father, Creator of all life
Bless and protect our unborn child
Give him/her two perfect hands, and arms
that will reach out to help others
Give him/her sound and beautiful eyes
Let him/her see sailboats and sunsets
Give him/her a healthy active mind
Give him/her ideas for the greater good
Give him/her a strong and courageous faith
To face the challenge of every day
Give him/her ears able to hear a puppy's
bark, laughter and song
Give him/her a wise and happy heart
For caring, smiling and loving
Give him/her a friendly tongue and mouth
whose words will only be true and kind
Give him/her two legs straight and strong
To stand against the worlds injustices
Most important, give him/her a holy soul
May he/she always love and believe in thy glory
Amen
Bless this child inside my womb
As she grows stronger each day
Keep her in thy loving care
Watch over her I pray
With much anticipation
We're awaiting her arrival
And depending upon You Father
For this tiny one's survival
We'll love her endlessly
And care for her our very best
She'll be our pride and joy
This child with which we're blessed
Some say she's not a baby yet
I'm certain that they're wrong
My feelings toward a group of cells
Could never be this strong
Help us to remember
She really is Your child
You've put her in our home
For just a little while
Lord please bless our family
With favors from above
As we grow in size
May we also grow in love
