Designated daughter

In every family where love does abound, God sends a designated daughter to be found.

When parents are feeble and too weak to stand, God sends a daughter to hold their hand.

God always know when the right time will be, to send His designated daughter to help he or she.

Ruth in the bible was that such as one, God showed us in Ruth, what a designated daughter has done. 

In every family there's one, sometimes two, standing in line, there's always a few.

Those designated daughters or daughter in laws can always be relied upon.

To help the loved ones when their lives are all spent, after caring and loving their families, God sent.

They can always be spotted, their the ones in the back, standing guard over loved ones,
or carrying a pack.

They step to front to guard and protect, leaving no question, and no right to reject.

In every family, God sends His Love, In the form of that designated loved one,

From His Eternal watch above.

The Family Bond

The Bond that holds a family close. is like a brand new rope.

But as the years pass, and tension begins to form, the rope becomes less flexible,
and the welcomes are less warm.

The rope is stretched and pulled apart, until only a string is left. 

The glue of the parents soon pass on, leaving the siblings separate and bereft.

How do we repair a rope, that once was strong and true, but now hangs by the frailest thread.

How do we repair a family, that cries out with fear and dread. 

The old rope must be cast away, and a new one to replace. 

But the family cannot be cast away, and the family cannot be replaced. 

So the willingness of all who share, the sadness of this disgrace,

The Love that held the bond so true, will pass with age and time,

But the family that holds it, carries on,

With your children and mine.
