We went for a short ride today

With the windows slightly down

Saw a pretty little girl at play

When we stopped to eat in town

She was a tiny little sprite

So full of life and such fun

She was using chalk to write

Upon the sidewalk in the sun

Her Mama and Daddy sat quite near

And watched her like a hawk

They loved her so much, their little dear

And listened sweetly to her talk

Suddenly she ran with her eyes opened wide

Straight into her Daddy’s waiting arms

When from a scary ole truck she tried to hide

As Daddy smiled at her little girl charms

I watched them embrace and quietly mused

How wonderful it is that we can do this too

Running to our Father God, never to be refused

The joy of knowing that he will do whatever

It takes to keep us safe and secure

Just like the Daddy’s love for his sweet little girl

We can believe our Father’s love is absolutely sure.
