God must have spent a little more time on you

(William Adolphe Bouguereau - Innocence, 1893)

"in all of creation, all things great and small
you are the one that surpasses them all
more precious than any diamond or pearl
they broke the mold when you came in this world

and then i'm trying hard to figure out
just how i ever did without
the warmth of your smile, the heart of a child
that's deep inside, it leaves me purified."
(*NSync - God Must Have Spent A Little More Time on You, 1997)

who knew *NSync were theologians.  wow, right, i know eh?! #bestsongevah they dedicated this song to their moms, and today, i, we, dedicate to Our Lady, the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God!

happy holy New Year!  peace.
