Daddy, catch me so I won't fall,

cried the dainty child

from the garden wall

Her tiny feet perched

precariously

where her daddy's big,

strong hands had placed her.

The girls was not so brave,

but very timid  

and very small.

Just jump into my arms, sweet girl;

I love you more than

the whole, wide world!

So she looked into

her daddy's warm eyes

and saw his smile

as he waited for her,

and leaped into his arms

with a giggle and a little twirl.

Our Father watches over all;

He is ready to catch you,

lest you fall.

Though He lead you

thru dark, lonely valleys,

His strong arms are always there,

reaching out,

to keep you close to Him,

and to answer

whenever you call.
