A flame in infant's trusting gaze,
A whispered prayer through passing days.
The Spirit breathes, a gentle dove,
Protecting them with endless #Love.
He guides my hand, a steady guide,
Through storms where doubt and fears reside.
A father's task, a heavy weight,
To lead them to the narrow #Gate.
The icons gleam, a golden light,
Reflecting truth, dispelling night.
I pray He grants them wisdom's grace,
To see His image in each face.
My trembling hope, my fervent plea,
That they in #Christ find liberty.
And when my earthly race is run,
May they proclaim, "Thy will be done."
