"I am a Daughter"

by Elizabeth L.
from Virtuous Daughters, April 2015~Volume 15, Number 1

I am a daughter, young and full
of hopes, ideas, dreams;
And daughter I will always be,
unlasting as it seems.
For other titles loom ahead--
a family God may bring;
But wife or mom, still most of all,
I’m daughter to the King.
I need not wait to fill my place
of servant of the Lord;
Nor will I lose this title dear,
if I take on one more.
For in the place where I now stand,
there’s much to learn and do;
The truth is that my heart is free,
the Lord’s will to pursue.
It’s not as though I can’t be God’s,
when I become man’s wife;
For daughter to Him I will be
all seasons of my life.
The point I mustn’t miss is this:
to serve Him from here on;
And not to wait ‘til seasons new,
Nor stop when those times come.
