Tongues of fire, softly gleam,

On bowed heads, a waking dream.

My children watch, with eyes so wide,

As grace descends, a gentle tide.

From icon's gaze, a silent plea,

That Spirit's touch may set them free.

To love and serve, in humble ways,

Through all their nights, and all their days.

A father's prayer, a whispered plea,

#HolySpirit, dwell in me.

#Faith's embrace, a family's keep,

In Christ's own love, our souls asleep.
