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 Love Generosity May 12, 2015

Having seen three daughters (and a son) grow up, go through high school and college I completely understand your thoughts and words. Great tribute.

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~~

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.

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.

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

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

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 :-)

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

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

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!
