Here is a candle that glows so bright

Diaper Cake
Poems
Here is a cake made with love,
though I wouldn't call it yummy.
For the ingredients used go on the baby,
not inside your tummy.
Flour, sugar, milk, and eggs
will make a cake so sweet,
But diapers, booties, and baby socks
will make a handy treat.
Here is a cake for your special day,
Because the stork is own her way.
It's filled with lots of things for you,
On the outside, and inside too.
Place them in your diaper bag,
So all the necessities you will have.
For the big day soon will come,
When you can show off your little one!
Written by ~ Laura Kaye ~
Baby cakes are so much fun,
they're sure to delight a new mom.
Filled with things from A to Z,
So many things a baby needs.
Diapers, toys, powders, and pins,
Wonderful times will soon begin!
Written by ~ Laura Kaye ~
Here's a special gift I made just for you.
I didn't have to sew or even use glue.
It's filled with lots of things you see,
But most of all with love from me!

6 cloth diapers, you can wash every day
6 more diapers, you can throw away
Fold in 1 bib, in case baby should dribble
Add in 4 socks, to cover toes as they wiggle
Fold in 1 shirt (onesie), to keep in the heat
Bind with 4 pins, to keep the cake neat

Then bind with 4 pins, to keep the cake neat

Wishing Well Poems
Diapers, bottles, clothes galore,
we have some but still need more.
If you could pitch-in to help with these,
The parents-to-be would sure be pleased.
With your donation, your name please don't tell,
it's just a little contribution to our wishing well.
author unknown
Baby wipes, teething rings, diapers galore,
onesies, bibs, books, blankets, binkies and more.

A shopping spree from A-Z
To add a little extra glee
And help the baby and mom-to-be
Please bring a little extra
from your heart
to help them fill the
alphabet shopping cart
**Thanks for helping fill the shopping cart!
(You could suggest letters on the invitation.)
A tisket, a tasket,
something small for baby's basket!
From the top of his head,
to the tip of his toes,
baby products are needed,
every mom knows.
Shampoo and booties
and for in-between,
wet-wipes and q-tips,
to keep baby clean.
If you could provide an item like these,
Our Mom-to-be and baby sure would be pleased.

Boo-Boo Bunny Poems
Boo Boo Bunny is here today,
To help your boo boo go away.
This funny, fuzzy, furry friend,
Will cool the hurt to help it end.
She'll make the ouch go bye-bye fast,
So hold her until the pain has passed.
And when the boo-boo is all through,
She'll still be here to play with you.

No matter how we try
There's just no way the boo-boos

Then put me close to where it hurts
And I'll make it feel real nice.

And I will make your boo-boo well.

Hi, I'm the Boo-Boo Bunny and I'm here to say,
When a child gets a boo-boo I'll help it go away.
Just place an ice cube on my back and rest it on the bump,
Then let them hold the bunny until there is no lump.

When the tears begin to flow,
From a bruise or bump or blow,

In its tummy holding ice,
Gently soothing all the while,
Sadness turning into a smile.

And I'll make it feel real nice

Daddy's Diaper Toolbelt
When it's time for Diaper duty
You'll have your tools at hand
Everything you need
So mom will think you're grand.
Gloves, and mask, and tongs,
diapers, pins, and powder too.
Everything you need
For all the work you'll do!
Your Diaper Tool Belt will assure
That you do the duty right.
So that precious little baby
Will go back to sleep each night!

Seed Packet/Flower Poems
A little plant in a pot,
please keep it in a sunny spot.
Give this plant your care, my dear,
A living reminder of someone near.
A beautiful baby bundled in layers,
please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
Thank you for support and love,
As we welcome our gift from God above.
Here are some seeds and a little clay pot.
They are a lot like a baby believe it or not.
Both of them needing special care and love.
Fragile new lives sent from above.
Each time you see them be sure to remember,
every day is a gift and God is the sender.
Take your seeds home,
give lots of love to show,
and when ________ has her baby,
you can watch them all grow!
The Tiny Seed
Each day God sprinkles a million seeds
into his garden of life.
Some will land in weeds and clay,
but most in the soil of a loving husband and wife.
God will give the tiny seed
most of what it needs to grow
But the rest must come from the soil,
and the soil is us you know?
So if you are lucky enough to receive
a tiny seed from above,
Nurture it with kindness, faith, happiness and love
Then, not long before you know it
your seed will begin to sprout.
And a strong beautiful blossom
will soon find its way out!
written by Connie Fuller
A little seed for me to sow
A little earth to make it grow
A little hole, a little pat,
A little wish, and that is that.
Add some sun and then, a flower
And thanks to you for the lovely shower.
written by ~ monica ~
Please plant these seeds
And watch them bloom,
Just like Baby (last name)
Who will be here soon!

Keepsake Bonnet Poems
I'm just a little hankie
As square as square can be
But with a small stitch or two
A bonnet I will be.
I'll be worn from the hospital
Or on my christening day
And after that be folded
Then carefully put away.
When on that future wedding day
So we've been always told
The well dressed bride must always
Wear something that is old.
So what could be more fitting
Then to find little me
And with a few fine stitches snipped
A wedding hankie be.
And if perchance it's a boy
Someday he'll surely wed
Then his bride can have the hankie
Once worn upon his head.
author unknown
This little gift is meant to bring joy
Whether the child be girl or boy
It's just the size for a little newborn
When home from the hospital the hat is worn.
Now when the baby is fully grown
The future of the hat will be known.
It's a hankie made of fabric so fine
And meant for the wedding at some future time.
For the girl it will serve for "something old"
For the boy, it's for his lovely bride to hold.
I hope this gift brings delight and cheer
Because after all, it's for the baby dear.
author unknown
A tiny square of Linen
And a dainty edge of lace
Designed into a bonnet
To frame a Baby's face
After Baby's worn it
Fold and tuck away.
It will become a hanky
For Baby's Wedding Day.
If the Baby is a Boy
On the Day he would marry
This will be "something old"
For his joyful bride to carry.
author unknown
A special little hanky
Of cotton pure and white
Becomes a blessing bonnet
When stitched and fashioned right.
Once worn upon a precious head
Then carefully tucked away
With stitches freed, is used again
For good luck on the wedding day.
author unknown
I thought this Hanky was all I was to be,
but then some simple stitches made a bonnet out of me.
Please wear me from the hospital or on your Christening Day,
then I'm ready to be gently wrapped and neatly packed away.
When comes your Wedding Day,
as always we've been told,
to be the well dressed Bride,
you need that something old.
So what would be more fitting then finding little old me,
just snip my simple stitches
and your Wedding Hanky I'll be.
And if by chance you are a boy,
someday you too will wed.
So to your Bride you can present,
this Hanky once worn upon your head.
author unknown
I'm just a little baby bonnet
as cut as cute can be
I was home made for my mommy
because she loves and cherishes me
Perhaps you are a little boy
someday you too will marry
how sentimental for his bride
a hanky she can carry.
author unknown
I am an heirloom bonnet
as special as can be.
A present for someone dear
to wear on Christening Day.
When baby grows to wed,
I'll be by your side
as a dainty little hanky
for the blushing bride.
author unknown
At first a hankie - small and white,
Folded square and stitched just right,
A baby bonnet was made of me,
So a family heirloom I could be.
Worn home from the hospital or on Christening day,
I'm pressed with care then packed away,
When the lovely bride needs something "old",
They'll snip my threads and I'll unfold.
author unknown
For a special baby
Loving thoughts and nimble hands
Created this little bonnet
Of fine lace and ribbon bands.
At first it was a handkerchief
But with some stitches small,
A bonnet was made for downy head
To be admired by all.
Mother will carefully store it,
And gently pack it away
Years later, she'll take it out
Before her daughter's wedding day.
She'll snip the tiny stitches
Place it in her daughter's hand
To carry, as a hanky, down the aisle
And receive her wedding band.
Mother's son will find good use
For the square, when he's a young man
He'll give it to his sweetheart
When he asks her for her hand.

Baby's Piggy Bank
A brand new little baby
Needs blessings from above.
And lots and lots of pennies
To fill baby's bank - with love.
Babies are God's precious gifts
Given to warm our heart.
Let's fill baby's piggy bank
To give baby a wonderful start!

1st Album/Scrapbook Poem
This album is given with love today.
A new precious life is on the way.
Pictures are memories of days gone by.
Trust me, the days, weeks and years seem to fly.
Take lots of snap shots - one here and one there.
Your album is something your baby will share.
A child so sweet and so nice to hold.
Each page of your album a story is told.
Have fun with your album and make each picture last.
Remember your album will soon be your past.
written by Anna Dounelis
Keepsake Bible Poem
A Light, A Key, A Friend
This little Book is like a light to guide you on your way,
In the night when it is dark or on a stormy day.
This little Book is like a key to unlock truth for you,
Revealing all that's good and bad and all that's false and true.
This little Book is like a friend, next to your side to stay,
At this time when you are young, and on your wedding day.
Baby's Memory Jar (Box)
Decorate a big jar or a box for a baby (maybe with the theme of the nursery). Inside, place a note pad and a pen. Attach one of the following poems:
Baby books are great ideas,
but sometimes you're too busy.
Living with a little one
can put you in a tizzy.
Milestones pass too fast at times
to find the proper page.
So, jot a note of each event
with date or baby's age
(like "Took 3 steps on May the 1st"
or "Teething -- 5 December")
then drop it in this Memory Jar (Box)
to help you to remember!
As children grow, they learn to speak,
And have so much to say.
They crack us up and make us smile
Each and every day. All the things they do and say,
We think we will recall.
But as they age, so do we,
And we don't recall at all!
So HEAR it, WRITE it, DROP it in -
That's all you have to do,
To help remember the things they did,
And WHAT was said by WHO!
