Lian Ed

I should've posted this on April 5...

Our Son

A year ago he came
We welcomed him
With songs and a name.
In our hearts was a prayer
As we held him
We praised his Creator.

Our cherished treasure
Our priceless inheritance
In him we find pleasure.
'Lian Ed' means 'great protector'
Two names taken from days of old
Poor and needy may in him find a defender.

To the Lord Almighty
We, His stewards give
Our son to care and keep.
May you do, dear Lord
That which You please
And may he live according to Your Word.

Our first family picture.


Baby magazines said babies don't smile until the 2nd month. But our Lian Ed smiled at 5 days old!


My little Mr. Pogi!
