No. 5: Emergency baptism

A day old, the girl is baptized in emergency.

The girl is not in distress.

Not in need of any emergency baptism.

She is already His.

He, who has created her.

Baptized in the swedish lutheran church. Later coming home to the Catholic Church.

You have called me by name.

Before You formed me in the womb,

You chose me.

She already belonged to Him.

But okay then.

In their distress

the distress of others,

the baptism gave them comfort.

Comfort in their distress.

These poems are originally written in Swedish and translated by myself. So if the translation sounds weird - please just laugh, or cry, or just shake your head and move on to the next poem, hoping for a better translation there... Thank you for your patience, and for following my story! By the way - my lyrics sometimes sounds weird in Swedish too...
