“Look to the stars, my child, and know, The heavens speak of what you’re shown. More precious than the diamonds bright, More costly than the purest light. Your worth is far beyond the earth, Crowned in splendor before your birth. Lift your eyes to skies afar, And remember, child, just who you are.

Endowed with worth from Heaven’s throne, You are His child, His very own Soli Deo Gloria”
