For Ella Elizabeth Stavlund, daughter of our friends Mike and Stacy, read by the waters and flower petals of her baptism on April 15, 2007.
Ella Elizabeth
Who through force of Will
Now graces us
With her presence
May you grow in wisdom
And in stature
And in favor
With God and people
May the seed of the Maker’s good dreams
Leap and sprout inside of you
Nurturing you to become
The woman you were made to be
