Tiny hands, a whispered prayer,
#Icons watch, a love to share.
Baptism's font, a life begun,
My #BelovedOne, daughter/son.
First steps falter, then take flight,
A burning candle in the night.
Liturgy's hymn, a gentle grace,
Reflected in your shining face.
Years may pass, and trials sting,
Beneath the Cross, our hearts will cling.
Protect you from this world's dark art,
And keep you ever in my heart.
#Fatherhood a sacred trust,
'Til earthly bonds return to dust.
