What Unsuspecting Miracle

What unsuspecting miracle Has passed through his first year? Has circled round the smiling sun To sit before us here? What angel changeling changed our lives Since he arrived from heaven, Bringing home the ballyhoo That rounds the gates of Eden? What bright eternal soul have we Since taken into time? Have welcomed into weeks and days Still stunned by the sublime? What love has love brought to this world? What joy has pleasure wrought? For this, our celebration, sings Of far more than we sought.
