My Little Angel, You'll Always Be

It's hard to believe we've been together for 23 years,
through that time we've have some great times along with many tears.

You're all grown up, what can I say,
Do you remember the time when you were little and we prayed?

We asked God for you a daddy, and for money for some food,
I think you even asked for help with your selfish attitude.

He provided, and cared for us beyond what we could measure,
Then he sent us John, your Dad, a truly blessed treasure.

Somehow I strayed from my relationship with God, and with you,
then rough years came but I believe He carried us through.

It's been over four years now since we re-gave Him our lives to lead,
Through that time there's been many a need.

But through them all, the great and the small,
God has once again carried us through them all.

Keep your eyes on Him, and don't drift from His love,
He's right there beside you, not a distant God in the heavens above.

Raise, training up, your children in the way they should go,
and His fruit through them will abundantly show.

I place you into the Father's tender loving care,
He can help you through anything, yes, anything you'll bear.

Because you have a loving God who's love is deeper for thee,
But know this sweet Angel, my little Angel, you'll always be.

It's wonderful how through the years our love grows.  No matter how rough times may get, they bring a closeness that only come through making it past the trial(s) and/or tribulation(s).  It is the same with our wonderful Heavenly Father.  He allows us to go through tough times that we may grow closer to Him, leaning on Him more and searching His Word for the answers to our questions.  What an Awesome Father who loves us so much.  Turn to Him in everything you do; any task big or small.  He wants to help us through them all.

Angel is my 23 y.o. daughter.  She, her husband (John), and their two children (Leah 20 mo. and Michael 4 mo.) live in Kitzingen, Germany.  I miss them.
