Faith of her Father

Childlike, her innocence flows untainted like the wind…
She knows not of heartache, or the fear of having sinned.

With hope, one foot moves forward; she tries to match him, step for step
And with countless tries, her short legs are no sign of her inept.

She smiles, as she continues on this walk, her hand in his…
For with the faith of her father, she knows only of what is.

Courage sparks inside of her, she looks up to him, and glows
He clenches her hand and swings her round; this is love, she knows…

The days would now move forward; her childlike innocence to test…
She takes in the sites and scenes, reacting as only she knows best.

She stands a little taller, taking in the world around
For with the faith of her father, all this magic, she has found.

Time does pass, and she sets out to build a life to call her own
And they walk now, step for step, just as she had always only known.
