A shadowed room, a child's soft fear,
The world outside, a bitter tear.
But in my heart, a flame takes hold,
A story of the brave and bold.
An icon gleams, a gentle face,
#Christ's light transcends this somber place.
I trace the cross upon his brow,
"He walks with us, even now."
The #prayer ascends, a whispered plea,
For strength and grace, for you and me.
The darkness shrinks, the shadows flee,
#Faith's embrace sets spirits free.
My little one, your hand in mine,
A love like this, a truth divine.
The Light of Christ, a steady guide,
Forever near, forever inside.
