The Daughter of a King

     I have had a few situations lately where I feel I have disappointed others.  I try, but I can't do as many things as I would like.  There are so many needs around me.  Work, patients, children, my parents and my husband.  Sometimes I feel  guilty when I can't fit everything in and have to remind myself that it is not what I do but who I am in Christ that matters.  The reason I write this blog is to share the love of God with my family.  This poem is what God gave me in 2007 and I would like to share it again. 

The Daughter of a King

I am the daughter of a King

An heir to all that this brings

Not of riches of gold

But of a wealth that has only begun to be told

The riches I will inherit

Are not earned on my own merit

But are a gift of grace from my Father

And a prize that is beyond measure

Of the gifts that He bestows

Forgiveness is first and foremost

The forgiveness leads to peace

And a feeling that is oh, so sweet

And relief from all the pain

This is what I gain!

I sit, not on a throne

But at the feet of one to behold.

I am not adorned in silk clothes

But in a robe washed clean as the snow

What else am I to aquire?

Lands or jewels or fortune?

Not, these things are not to be

What I will inherit is eternity!

This life has already begun you see

It started the day Jesus came to live inside of me

The path to my Father is He

The Father, the Son and Spirit

Trinity

I will live forever in joy

With my brothers and sisters all there

A river of life is our food

In a place where the streets are paved with gold

And a Father who is always at home!

Yes, I am a daughter of a King.

And all this inheritance brings.
