To My Daughter Maria A blessing From God



When my daughter was born,

God blessed me so much.

She had every feature,

including that daughter's touch.

As she grew older,

I watched constantly.

To see if her features,

would resemble me.

I want her life to be different,

and take one day at a time.

I asked God to watch over her,

because she's the only daughter of mine.

God's done a good job,

at keeping her heart pure.

So far she helps everyone,

even if she's not sure.

So I know when she gets older,

and reaches adulthood.

That God will help her as always,

be especially good.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this poem to my daughter to let her know just how much of a blessing God has gave to me!

I could really relate to your poem, I m aways praying for my children and I also have a daughter. I felt a sincereness in your writing as well as seeing the heart of the mother wanting better for her child

This poem is very touching. Having children is God's greatest blessing. Here's a poem from my book that I wrote for my son:

GOD'S GIFT

God gave me a miracle,
He sent it from above;
God gave me a present,
and wrapped it up with love;
God gave me a special gift,
that filled my life with joy;
God gave me a bouncing baby boy.

God gave me a treasure,
more valuable than gold;
God gave me a newborn,
whose life I'll watch unfold;
God gave me the best prize
that I have ever won,
God gave me a precious little son.
