Little Hands – Baby’s Prayer
Dedicated to Jaden K. Hepburn
Little one,
Welcome to your temporal home
It’s harsh and bright, I know
But it will get better with time
May your wondering eyes see several moons
May life be kind to you
May the barge never leave your shores
Wisdom and honor will find a home with you
Contentment and innocence will grace your heart
This sojourn will grant you many memories to treasure
Little fingers grasping mine
Tiny feet finding ground,
May the earth welcome your footsteps
Keeping you grounded in truth and knowledge
May mercy and humility embrace you
Making you aware of humanity’s fragility
A fulfilled and impactful life will be your heritage
Destiny will smile down on you, making you at home with Him
You will be surrounded by family and loved ones
And you will walk with Him all your days on earth.
Little one,
Above all else,
Know that you are loved.
