Oh Blessed Daughter Of God!
by Diana Isham Oh blessed daughter of God Whose heart is full of gold You may think me as odd When your fashions I do scold! I must seem so old fashioned When I say, 'Your skirt's too short!' Then in careful words, impassioned I say, 'At least just wear a skort!' Your views at times, are so complex To this old fogy's mind That you must think I'm just a hex To your 'In fashion' kind. I hope though, you will understand When forceful things I say That Godnot I, is in command And I hope for meyou'll pray! Though your mom, I am not perfect But I try so hard each day To show you my respect For your complex teenage way! And in return, I hope that you Will try to understand I only want to help you through This vain ambitioned land. There are so many choices For a teenage girl to make That it's hard to sort the voices Of the honest and the fake. Oh take my hand my precious one Pleasedo not be afraid To place your trust in God's own Son Who in the garden prayed. He suffered for our worst mistakes Sweat blood from every pore Did all this for our sinful sakes Now reigns forevermore! And so my precious daughter Who is loved so very much Let's rely on our Redeemer For He has the saving touch Let's walk this land together, Holding to the Iron Rod As a daughter and a mother Hand in hand with our great God! Dear Friend, If you are desirous of reprinting this poem I would like to make a special request of you... I would be tremendously appreciative if you would you please take the time to let me know where and what posting or publication you will be posting or publishing it in. May God bless you with a wonderful day! I am a lover of good literature and music and am a writer of such (or at least I try to be). Among other things, I love to read and write poetry. I love people, and hope through my writings and otherwise, to be an influence for good in the lives of those whom I meet and come in contact with. Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
