I wrote this poem a little over two years ago for my daughter that just turned four in October. Poetry is nearly impossible to format the way I’d like on this blog, but here it is:
Ancient-future faith – a continuous line
Future expectations – our daughter in time
Born on this day – the Feast of Saint Francis
A precious two years – caught up in dances
Water and Spirit – drenched in the Name
Forged in the fire – of the cross and the flame
Family tradition – we thank God every night
You look at stars – and see God just right
Angels captivate you – can you still see
The God who surrounds – and forever will be
A promise to watch – a promise to share
The faith of forever – the One who is there
