Daddy, Are You Proud of Me?

“Daddy, are you proud of me?”

Is how it started out

Thinking, “If you weren’t, I’m sorry”

And about how I’m a mess, so I wouldn’t doubt

Then, my thoughts shifted

And I pondered how you felt

My own self-pity lifted

And I considered with all you dealt

So here, I’ll tell you now

Because of all you are and do

God, you are such a wonder

And, Daddy, I am proud of you!

Father, I thank you for always being here

And I’m thankful for your ways

I’m grateful for how you love me

And stick by me through each day

Daddy, I’m so proud of you

For the love you have and show

I know we don’t deserve it

Yet, you never fail to let us know

Daddy, I’m ever so proud of you

For on us, not giving up

This world is in such a mess

And I know we make it tough

But Daddy, I’m grateful for your grace

And the mercy you display

For the longsuffering you extend

For all these things, I thankfully pray

Daddy, I thank you for your peace

And that your goodness still reigns

For your marvelous light

Casting out shadows trying to remain

Daddy, I’m so proud of you

For fighting the good fight

For not becoming weary

For keeping your prize in sight

Daddy, I want you to be proud of me

And I really hope you are

But, Father, I want you to know how proud I am of you

Daddy, thank you for being my shining STAR!

"A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation." (Psalm 68:5 KJV)

"Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him." (Psalm 103:13)

"Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not." (1 John 3:1)

"If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?" (Matthew 7:11)

Thank you, God, for being the best Father a girl could never ask for <3 I'm grateful, Lord, and Jesus... I love you, too!
