To My Girls

I've always been the fixer
That's just what I do

I've always filled in the cracks
I've always been the glue

I can't fix everything that's wrong
I can't fill in the holes

You will have to bring your own cement
You will have to set your poles

For, I can't forge your path or plan
I don't make the rules

I can't shield you from the ugly truth
I can't protect you from the cruel

I can believe in God's great plan
I can teach you my faith

For that is all we have sometimes
But that will only get us to the Gate

You can't see the finish line
If your eyes are closed in fear

Walk tall to your challenge, for it is yours
The place you should be is here

So know that I am proud of you
No matter what you do

You are perfect in my eyes
You are perfect to Him too

So forge a path that is your own
But know I'm by your side

You can do all things through Christ
And that will bring you pride
