Prayers for Her (Pt. 23)
Surrendering your children
I love her through galaxies wide and far
S he dances like a feather, free and wild
U sually, I dream of the feats she'll conquer around the world
R owing down short streams of her childhood memories
R aking leaves of her sweet creativity that fell down from friendly trees
E eventually, she'll grow to see how I've planted prayer deep into the earth
N o person can separate us as we laugh and watch the world whirl
D etermined to be the best father I can, as I sing over this pearl-girl
E verlasting grace and compassion for this vessel, she shines throughout
R ain down kisses from Heaven on her rosy cheeks that I love dearly

This is so touching and beautifully crafted! I love the creativity here, especially how each line’s initials spell out "I SURRENDER"—such a powerful and fitting choice!
Oh WOW this is AMAZING 🤩
