for my girl, the one i mentor, on her first day of college

writing for five minutes on stretch

em,
it's your first day of college
and i'm undone
for this moment is a miracle of sorts
and perhaps i should have
a thousand worries
but
i don't....
your strength
is beautiful
and my prayer
is
that you are
willing to stretch toward
knowledge
peace
loving yourself
and
him who gave you life
i love you, chick

  8. I too pray for your girl as she starts college. May God surround her with godly friends and influences. May she stand firm when she feels weak. That God would be her strength and that she would shine bright for him.
