Small icon, kissed each night,

Flickering candle's gentle light.

My son sleeps sound, a peaceful grace,

Christ's image on his innocent face.

A father's prayer, a whispered plea,

Guide him, Lord, eternally.

Through trials faced, and joys embraced,

Let him find solace in Your taste.

The Pascha lamb, the painted eggs,

Our #Faith woven through our legs.

He learns of love, of sacrifice,

Reflected in Christ's gentle eyes.

My heart, a vessel, overflowing,

With hope and love, eternally growing.

For in my child, a light I see,

The image of #Divinity.
