This Too Shall Pass


So I'm sitting here crying

tear after tear

Wondering how time could fly so fast

in the last 5 years

A whole new phase in life

she's about to begin

She's looking at me with a smile

and I force out a grin

I AM excited for her

all the friends she will make

all the new things she'll try

for her, it'll be a piece of cake


But for me it's not so easy

For me it's different

I feel anxious and nervous

It's so hard to be a parent

Then my heavenly father

gently reminds me

This too shall pass

and be far behind me

"But until then sweet child

I want you to know

I have her in my hands

and will never let her go."


So the comfort of my Savior

will see me through

Knowing He's in control

There's nothing left for me to do

but pray her through each day

love her unconditionally

Enjoy every moment

Don't let it go by too fast

Because I've been reminded

This too shall pass


Thank you Jesus for my sweet Taylor. Please help her to be a light in a very dark world. Continue to hold her tight in the palm of your hand. And help me too because it's hard being a parent but I guess you already know that.
