David Meade Poet I do not know?

A Father's Love Prayer

My youngest daughter
	Beautiful in love
	Wise in life
	Rich in grace

A deep-joy in my life
	Loyal in family
	Trust-worthy in relationships
	Steadfast in faith

Her journey ahead
	College, internships, new friendships
	Adventures filled with hope, fear and excitement
	Whatever your future holds - My love goes with you
	
My Prayer for you
	Everyday and in everyway
	Morning, noon and night
	Unceasing love-prayer

May Christ go with you
	Before you to show the way
	Behind you to encourage you
	Beside you to befriend you
	
Above you to watch over you
	Within you to give you peace
	A Father’s love
	Always

Dad

John Lofquist October 13, 2015 at 3:52 PM Having seen three daughters (and a son) grow up, go through high school and college I completely understand your thoughts and words. Great tribute. David Meade October 15, 2015 at 12:18 PM Thank-you John, you have travelled this path! You must be a blessed man! All the best and thank-you for your visit.

Kim Van Breda October 13, 2015 at 3:09 PM Awesome David... I too have a precious daughter.. a gift from God...I stand forever in awe of the fact that God entrusted her to me...although she is now 25 and a woman in her own right, I pray a similar prayer over her every day ~~X~~ David Meade October 15, 2015 at 12:20 PM Thank-you Kim, you are a talented writer and I look forward to reading more of your works. I agree, daughters are a wonderful blessing (most of the time!!). Keep covering her in prayer and love generously!! Hugs.

Lara Wash July 16, 2015 at 11:33 AM David what daughter wouldn't want a father's prayers like yours that you prayed for your daughter? I'm inclined to believe all daughters would. My, my, my, such a heartfelt poem.

Nette Onclaud June 13, 2015 at 3:16 PM this moves me so,david... when a parent has to let go of his child for her to own a life, it can be hard yet empowering... lovely!.. huggs

Paul Callus May 29, 2015 at 4:00 PM Wow! This is beautiful, David! It show the lovely relationship between father and daughter. We all wish the best for our children, and though we put our trust in them, we still can't help worrying! All the best my friend. // paul

Constance La France May 15, 2015 at 8:10 AM David your write is beautiful and emotional and thanks for visiting my poem today

Charmaine Chircop May 15, 2015 at 3:13 AM Goosebumps all over and a fav,!

Andrea Dietrich May 14, 2015 at 3:48 PM I bet she says of you: BEST DAD EVER!!

James Horn May 14, 2015 at 4:40 AM Not only is touching but overcoming And to a beat we must be drumming For all of life to learn so much about Hide my ego being sure not let it out. Isn't this what life was meant to be? And forget about dog going on a tree Watch out for way you want to dress Then to God all of your sins confess. Around each corner is a new challenge Could be life itself or being in college May be by yourself to dusk from dawn But have both parents to depend upon. Jim Horn

Kp Nunez May 13, 2015 at 7:45 PM It is a blessing to this reader David, to know that you dedicate this love prayer to your daughter. Few men do, ironic, since it is a very essential part of nurturing. Loved it. 7. Hugs!Kim :-) David Meade May 13, 2015 at 10:59 PM It was truly a joy to share the poem with her. You are so right about nurturing love . . . I know raising my three daughters that I needed to share my love verbally, physically through hugs, and by the written word. I believed if I did not show my love that they would have sought it via other means. Thank-you once again for your kind visit. Much love and light

Kim Van Breda May 13, 2015 at 11:46 AM Beautiful David... what a lovely compliment to a daughter who obviously has an awesome Dad. Being a daughter and having one, makes this poem a 'heart string puller' xx~xx David Meade May 13, 2015 at 11:06 PM Thank-you Kim and am delighted that you stopped by and posted. It is funny, when we were first married and started talking about having children I really wanted a boy -- but now 25 years later, my three daughters are the world to me. Much love and light!

Arthur Vaso May 12, 2015 at 11:19 PM OMG I think that was like my first "quote" LOL David Meade May 13, 2015 at 11:08 PM You are hilarious -- I do believe we could bring the house down, especially after a few pints!! Thank-you dear friend for your support and comments. They are important to me. Big man hug!

Arthur Vaso May 12, 2015 at 11:18 PM David, this is so heartwarming! Reading a great poem is one thing, knowing a great man wrote it, quite another! A7
