Father –
watch my little steps
as I walk in your path and
long to follow in your steps.
Father –
hold my little hand
as I grip your arm and
hope to hold onto you.
Father –
touch my little heart
as I long to please you and
pant for your presence in my life.
Father –
listen to my little cries
as I plea from the ends of earth and
look up to the hills for help.
Father –
feed my little belly
as I empty the excess and
taste of your goodness bounty.
Father –
welcome my little soul
as I grow old and frail and
take on the renewed eternal body.
Amen.
