FOR THE
FARM
WIFE
AND
FAMILY
The love of her child—it is God
ordnined;
No time spent In study would
help her attain
The beauty, the warmth—lt is
God adorned
For the mother who cuddles her
tiny first-born.
DEAR DAUGHTER
Dear daughter, I thank God
That I was once a girl like you:
For I can better understand
The way you feel, the things you
do.
I know the heartaches that to you
Are very real and difficult;
Snare them with me, I’ll
understand
And if sometimes you are at
fault
And I must reprimand, it’s true,
1 do it out of love for you.
Dear Daughter, as I look your
way
And think back thru the years of
time
I see a girl-one much like you,
I see a godly mother-mine;
I did not always understand her
views;
And many times I thought I
knew
Which choice would be the best
for me.
And there were times I thought
that she
Was most unfair, And just like
you
I said she was old-fashioned too.
“My daughter dear, I understand
I know you think these same
thoughts too
I know sometimes you doubt my
love
For I was once a girl like you
And if sometimes I seem unfair
As if I don’t your viewpoints
share
Believe me, darling, when I say
It would be easy to see your way,
But when I disagree, it’s true,
I do it out of love for you
For God in heaven gave you to
me
To mold your life for eternity.”
