Sweet and sweeter

Only one older sister and two older bros have gone before you
Sweetly adding 16 to what they knew
Now you take the torch and hold it high
Toward your future, lift it high
My dear,
to the sky

What are you lifting?
What are you holding?
How will it shine?
What are you beholding?

Sixteen years of your heart
Sixteen years you took part
In shaping your days
In creating your ways
Fashioned by your creator
To honour
To love
Fashioned by your creator from
Above

To become a young woman after his heart
To become a young woman and make your start
Now, today and tomorrow
You are one of his arrows
To glide into his plan
Mighty and strong
In all your tomorrows

Sweetly Sara
Sweetly sixteen
Sweetly my daughter
Sweetly a dream

Happy sweet sixteen, Sara

It is a joy to celebrate your sweet 16, Sara! I am so grateful to be your mom.
I am privileged to watch you become a beautiful young woman for 16 years! I am so excited to celebrate you and many beautiful ways.

 

 

This prayer, ‘Her Prayer,’ is my prayer for you now, today and all your days. He holds you, my sweet Sara. Wow, what a gift you are! I am in awe that in God’s goodness, He allows me to be your mom. As you listen to this song, know I pray this for you. xoxox
