She tucks her head in tight,

Against her daddy’s shoulder.

She’s got her momma’s spirit;

a shared expressive spark

She’s her brothers’ treasure;

the apple of their eye

She’s a prayer, answered

that they didn’t dare to mention

May they always find her faithful

as her Daddy’s girl.

The Creator and Sustainer of the universe, stars, sea, and sky

willingly lends His ear

to an audience of

one.
