Faithfully Yours

I see it in her eyes...
those incredible big blues,
she holds on to me for a while,
I hold on to her all the time.
I have faith that it will be alright,
she has faith beyond that;
I see myself in things she does,
she sees herself in the way I am.
Neither of us knows what the future holds,
but we do know that we will be there
for each other because of the faith
we carry in our hearts and in our souls.
I see it in her eyes...
I see faith in my daughter's soul.
