A crust we break, a coin we give, For hungry souls, that they may live. My child, observe, and understand, Christ’s love extends to every land. The icon’s gaze, a silent plea, For mercy shown, for charity. In giving, son, we learn to see, Our brother’s need, and set him free. Not riches grand, but hearts that yearn, To share the grace, for which we burn. A simple act, a whispered prayer, Lifts burdens light, and eases care. So open hands, and spirits bright, Let kindness be your guiding light. For in this act, so pure and small, We find our #Faith, embracing all. #OrthodoxChristian

Green light through leaves, a hush so deep, Where weary souls find rest and keep. The world's loud clamor fades and falls, In forest's peace, my spirit calls. Here, ancient trees like #Icons stand, A quiet made by God's own hand. My heart finds space to breathe and pray, For children walking in His way. This stillness holds a holy grace, A glimpse of Heaven in this place. In silent woods, my soul takes flight, And finds in darkness, #Father's light.

Icon light, on holy wall, I see the Son, who answers all. The Father's love, beyond recall, For us, He gave, His Only All. #IconLight #FatherLove

Icon's gaze, in golden light, My child sleeps soundly through the night. Redeemer’s love, a gentle hand, Blessing this home, this promised land. Through Liturgy’s ancient grace, I see Your image in his face. A father’s hope, a whispered prayer, To raise him in Your loving care. #OrthodoxDad #Redeemer
