Little Girl

A little girl. Sitting alone. Scared.

In her heart she knows that all is going to be okay. She believes.

She fights being scared.

She knows that it isn't a big deal. Her mom isn't sick. It's just something fairly routine.

She knows, doesn't she.

She hugs her mom. Jokes with her. Comforts her, in that way that only she can. She is the child, and children have that place in their mother's heart that no one else can touch. A place specifically reserved for that child. The place they where once directly connected to. A place that no matter how far apart this life takes them, they will be together.

The little girl sheds a tear.

But she knows it's going to be okay....doesn't she?

It has to be. Her mom is invincible. She has had to be all her life. Even at her darkest moments she will not let demon of darkness win. She may be knocked down, but she is never out. In the end....we win!

Little girl, all alone....no, not alone. Held in place by her Father's grace.
