Sweet golden locks surround her face
And drink her tears from frills and lace
As fingers clutch a teddy bear—
Baby blues reflect despair
And cause her daddy’s heart to break...
“My dear, why are you still awake?”
Dark shadows dance throughout the night
A trembling voice reveals her fright
Nightly dreams become a nightmare
Too much for this child to bear
Invading ogres make her tearful
“Pretty one, please don’t be fearful.”
Darkened hours can be quite scary
Sounds of the night make one wary
“Try not to cry my little one,
To be fearful is not fun
Loneliness makes the hours long
Prayers to Jesus will make us strong.”
“O, Gentle Jesus meek and mild,
Please watch over my precious child
Place loving arms around her, Lord—
Our hearts beat with one accord
Give peace, and music to her ears
Jesus, take away her fears.”
Calmness enters, God’s love displayed
Rest in Jesus, all fear will fade
His love brings peace to your soul—
Know Our Father’s in control
All fear is gone, sleep to restore
“My little princess weeps no more.”
First line in 4th stanza is taken from the poem ‘Gentle Jesus, Meek and Mild’ written by Charles Westley
