Icon's gaze, a silent plea,
For strength to guide my family.
A #Father's hand, a Shepherd's care,
To lift them up in humble prayer.
Through Pascha's light, and Lenten fast,
A legacy of faith to last.
To teach them love, to show them grace,
In Christ's embrace, find their safe place.
The weight of sin, a heavy toll,
I pray to keep them pure in soul.
Though earthly trials may arise,
Reflecting #Christ in their own eyes.
My fears I kneel, before the Cross,
For them no gain, should ever be loss.
To raise them strong, and full of light,
And lead them home, where all is bright.
