212. Why do I cry?

Why do I cry?
Father, to make You smile.

Why do I smile?
Father, to make You cry.

Why do I make You smile?
Father, because Your Smile
Is my soul-depth.

Why do I make You cry?
Father, because Your Cry
Is my heart-height.

"Daughter, My daughter,
I bless you with My Gratitude-strength
And My Perfection-length."
