Flesh of my flesh, a soul takes flight,

In Baptism' font, made pure and bright.

An icon's gleam, a whispered prayer,

God's image etched, beyond compare.

Through tiny hands, the cross I trace,

A sacred trust, in time and space.

To guard this light, this holy spark,

Against the world, the cold, the dark.

Each scraped knee, a tear that falls,

Echoes Eden's broken walls.

But grace abounds, a healing stream,

Redeeming love, a waking dream.

I see the #Christ in your young eyes,

A promise whispered from the skies.

To raise you true, in faith and deed,

A living #Icon, for all to read.
