A Mom's Letter To a Daughter

Off on your own at such a young age So independent and strong-willed I wish you weren't in such a hurry to become so grown up For that happens all too soon Why not enjoy youth while it is here So quickly, it will fade away It pains me to see you struggle, Life's burden already on your shoulders As you take on the world, practically still a youth (Though I know you'd disagree to that) So, I hope and pray for the best for you That you will be cautious in all your decisions If only you'd seek God's guidance in life's every step For your Creator knows what's best for you I love you, Mom
