For Me and E's "little girl"

I want you to get it
I want it to make sense
in your little head
little girl
you're not the star
but you'll go far
just take this trust, that wants to run out the door
make it last, dig a hole and drop in the past
frozen flowers outside the window
dropping dew like smoldering cinders
understand this
love is a fairytale that never grows old
keeps you turning the pages
waiting for the prince that never comes
because the Kings been in the backroom
waiting for you to get it
I just want you to get it
for this to make sense
in your little head
little girl
It seems hard, seems impossible
to talk of faith and hope and being loveable
but it starts with you
and belief in a man
who was God
who hung on wood
while steel and blood rained down
our pain and failiure he withstood
all while asking for our forgiveness
because we knew not what we do
And I just want you to get it
just want it too make sense
in my little head
little girl
I believe, have received
undeserved, but welcome
to the banqueting table
so please get it
little girl,
so we can rejoice
surrounded by light and angels and delight
One day, it doesn't make sense
but
one day we'll get it.

i love you for writing this, amy. this made my day; you share the same heart for this little girl, and i appreciate that so much. what a lovely prayer. and i know that God must want her badly, because he's causing us to feel so strongly towards her. thank you!
