I DREAM TO HAVE A DAUGHTER LIKE YOU SOME DAY!

I dream to have a daughter like you some day

Someone who shares with me and cares with me.

A dark haired beauty with deep, beautiful eyes

A good child with tuned in awareness of all that’s around her.

I dream to have a daughter like you someday

To play together, work together, to see the release of sadness.

Even a moment or two … of trust and hope and surrender

With each of us, doing our part to keep the play alittle longer.

I dream to have you for a daughter some day

To love you and not feel your love is tragic for me

To want to share your burdens and do things that delight you.

To have what God gave me ... a son whose bride has arrived.

I dream to have you for a daughter someday

My other daughters don’t mind. They’re not jealous

Don’t mind about your other mothers, they understand

To give to one another is rich and good and God’s plan.

I dream to have my granddaughters grow up to be like you someday

Less the sadness and disappointments, but with depth and strength.

I dream to have my granddaughters grow up to know ... us as wonderful

Women who honor the Lord, can be trusted, and provide a safe harbor.

I dream today that God will soon have His way.

As I continue to struggle with this void in my heart,

I know I can trust He’ll take it all away.

And I’ll end up having a son once again, 2 precious grand-daughters,               

   and a grandson I have yet to truly get acquainted with.

But most importantly, I’ll end up with a beautiful, wonderful

Daughter-in-law…  And she’ll be my only one!
