The Valley May Feel Frightening

My sweet little girl is worried.

She can feel a change draw near.

She knows Mommy’s been looked over,

and she carries some of that fear.

She knows we tell the truth here.

We don’t hide when life feels hard.

She knows Mommy’s walking forward,

even when the road feels dark.

My little girl knows

we’re coming to a valley.

She knows Mommy says

the night may feel long.

But baby, please remember,

darkness does not mean God is gone.

The valley may feel frightening.

The shadows may feel wide.

But the light will come, my darling,

and God will be our guide.

And when the morning finds us,

when the dark has finally passed,

we’ll see the view was beautiful

because we chose to hold on fast.

These things we own may come and go.

The world may shift and sway.

But faith will keep our footing

when we cannot see the way.

So do not worry, baby girl.

Just hold on to my hand.

We may be walking through a valley,

but God already has a plan.
