Like Her, Too

Lord God, I want to be like her, too. Like Calleigh.
Ready to smile.
Asking little more than
to eat and sleep
and love
and be loved.

I want to find safety
and assurance in your arms
as she does in her Mommy and Daddy's arms.

I want to be as utterly dependent on you
as she is on them,
in Jesus' name,
amen.
