Oh Blessed Daughter's of God~


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 fogies 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 God…not I, is in command
And I hope for me, you'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.

Come, take my hand my precious one.
Please, do 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
And now He reigns forevermore!

So please my precious daughter
Who is loved so very much
Let us follow our great Savior
For He has the healing touch!

Let us walk this land together,
Holding to the Iron Rod
As a daughter and a mother
Hand in hand with our great God!

~~Love Forever, Your Mother~~

I love both my Godly daughter's so much and I am so proud of the Christian young ladies they developing into.I know God has a special plan for each one of them. I thank God for my angels.
I hope each of you have a Blessed day! It was 80 degrees here at my house today and the leaves are ever so slowly turning. Take time to tell someone you love them today.Blessings always.

Beautiful girls! I enjoyed the poem and I could SO relate, having a 22 yr. old myself! lol...
*sigh* It is tough being "mama" sometimes, but the reward is oh, so much love!

Your daughters are so lovely!

We are not in the teen years yet, but they are just around the bend, since my oldest is nine...

Wow, you are having a heat wave for October...is it always this way in your area? We had an Indian summer but our days are finally cool...tomorrow is sunny but only going to reach 61.

Blessings,
~Tammy

What a beautiful website you have here! What a lovely surprise to find "Oh Blessed Daughter of God" posted herein.

I have 3 beautiful daughters for whom I wrote it. Once I had done so, I realized that it could bless and benefit far more than myself and my daughters, so I began posting it on the internet.

What a blessing it is to me to see that you others can be and are being blessed by it. God bless you and your beautiful daughters my friend!

Love Always, Diana
