Blessed are the meek, He said that day,

Like my own child, I teach to pray.

The #mountaintop, a holy view,

My little ones, I watch them, too.

Tears well up at every word He spoke,

A life of grace, a heavy yoke.

Forgive the ones that caused us pain,

Teach my heart to love again.

The #Sermon's truth, a guiding star,

Near icons bright, no matter how far.

He sees their faces, pure and bright,

Within His love, bathed in light.

A screen's cold glow, a lamb's soft plea,

My #Digital shepherd, can't you see?

A world of pixels, a fleeting grace,

Where #HolySpirit's light finds not its place.

My children watch, their eyes so wide,

For truth, for comfort, deep inside.

I pray for them, for their sweet souls,

Against the tide, as time unrolls.

Icons gleam, a silent call,

To break the chains, before the fall.

My hand in theirs, a whispered prayer,

#Love will conquer, everywhere.
