Father,
Teach her your ways so that her faith is tall,
so through life she will race, instead of crawl.
Empower her to have the faith that moves mountains,
fullest composure permanently maintains.
So much may be accomplished with just the smallest seed,
of faith that will breed.
Fill her with passion and generosity like no one ever before,
with these priceless qualities, through life she will gracefully soar.
May she be a wonderful example to the little ones who are watching,
because life is just too short to always be botching.
Instruct her the simple fashion of how to clothe herself with grace,
so that perfectionism is not the constant thing that she chooses to embrace.
Humans have limitations and that is for sure,
however, you have washed her clean and made her pure.
