Faith Like a Child

She wraps her tiny hand around my thumb as tears run down my face. Her green eyes ask so many questions that I just can't answer. Not now. She climbs in to my lap her tongue not yet able to form words I stroke her hair as she lays against me Innocent. My mind wanders, thinking about all she has ahead of her. Boys to fill or break her heart friends to heal or stab her. Pain. The tears keep falling as I wonder who she will become A Kindhearted girl, or a heart breaking Woman? I pray. Lord, protect her as she grows, guard her Heart and make her strong. Don't let her fall. Like me. Her glowing eyes hold no fear as she listens to me whisper She knows His Presence and feels his Love. Her Innocence comforts me and I know that He will guide her no matter what life brings her way. As long as she keeps Faith, like a Child: Unquestioned.
