a daughter's prayer

a new year
a new beginning
to release the past
and embrace the new
to grow older, wiser and gentler
to b a shining vessel
to reflect his beauty and love
give me oil in my lamp
that i shall not be like the foolish virgins
but that i shall b a good steward
to cherish and grow
what i have been given
use my lips to speak
my hands to work
my feet to walk
my soul to bless
until they see ur light
until they find your rest
amen
