Innocence, so sweet and mild,
Proudly stood, and broadly smiled
Thinking of yon water cool
Standing in the narrow pool.
Azure eyes with sparkling gleam
Laughter sparked the languid scene
Boldly stepped with shoulders high
And sighed, but did barely cry
Father stayed close by her side
Beaming with heavenly pride
Leading her toward the Lord
Blessing her with word and sword
Of righteousness born from love
And belief in God above
Prayers he said; held her tight
Down came a heavenly light
Radiant beams all aglow
About her head they did show
For this was her baptism day
Chosen by the Lord, they say.
Innocence, so sweet and mild,
Proudly stood, and broadly smiled
