I am a Princess
Deep inside my young heart lies the one I
want to be.
And deep inside my soul I find the seeds
of divinity.
Now and then I see glimpses of the woman
I can become.
I know someday I'll find her here if I
don't give up.
Everyday I'm closer to the one I want to
be.
And slowly I'm uncovering my heavenly
qualities
and I'll continue working toward the
woman I can become.
Developing my qualities
through service and through love.
I am a princess, a royal Queen I'll be.
So I must choose to find and use my
divine qualities.
Daughter of heaven, a Queen someday I'll
be.
An heir of my Mother in heaven for
eternity…

You Hold the Keys
Vicki Klinger
I imagine, in the beginning,
You stood before His throne.
And listened while He told you
Of your mission and your home.
I suppose you were frightened
Of the journey that lay ahead,
Of the trials and tribulations
And, to Him you may have said,
“I’m frightened, Dear Father,
I want to return to thee.
How can I go down into the world
Where my agency is free?
What if I make wrong choices?
The path I do not know.”
And I imagine that He smiled and said
In a voice so sweet and low,
“Dear Daughter, how I love you.
I’ll not leave you all alone.
I’ll only be a prayer away.
Anytime you can call home.
I’ll send you down to loving parents
And give you leaders whom you’ll love.
They’ll show you the way that you must go
So you can return above.”
So with your hand planted firmly in His
You entered this world through birth.
And as He promised, loving parents were there.
Who taught you of your worth.
They taught you that you were a child of God
And Him you must obey.
They guided and directed you
Through all your work and play.
And as you grew, the leaders came
With testimonies so strong,
They prayed, they taught, they loved,
They hoped, that you would not go wrong.
“One step at a time,” they’d always say,
“Is how you must progress.
And with each step, you’ll earn a key
To the door of happiness.”
You’ve passed through many doors
On your journey from there to here
Many doors lay before you
But you can face them without fear.
For your Father in His wisdom
Has given you the key

Marriage Takes Three
I once thought marriage took
Just two to make a go
But now I am convinced
It takes the Lord also.
And not one marriage fails
Where Christ is asked to enter
As lovers come together
With Jesus at the center.
But marriage seldom thrives
And homes are incomplete
Till He is welcomed there
To help avoid defeat.
In homes where God is first
It's obvious to see
Those unions really work,
For marriage still takes three.

BLESSINGS
I knelt to pray when day was done
And prayed, "O Lord, bless everyone,
Lift from each saddened heart the pain
And let the sick be well again."
And then I woke another day
And carelessly went on my way,
The whole day long I did not try
To wipe a tear from any eye.
I did not try to share the load
Of any brother on the road.
I did not even go to see
The sick man just next door to me.
Yet once again when day was done
I prayed, "O Lord, bless everyone."
But as I prayed, into my ear
There came a voice that whispered clear,
"Pause now, my son, before you pray.
Whom have you tried to bless today?
Gods sweetest blessing always go
By hands that serve him here below."
And then I hid my face and cried,
"Forgive me, God, I have not tried,
But let me live another day
And I will live the way I pray."
