For Jaida

Sweet girl, with eyes a lovely shade of pure

And a smile that causes the sun to shine each day for me

Your existence is not one of mere chance

Each breath you will take has been carefully planned by the One who created you.

The world would be lacking, without you in it

For you offer something that no one else can

You offer

You.

There is purpose in each and every day that you live

You have the power to change the world

If you choose to look beyond yourself

And see the world around you.

You have been created to serve the One who created you,

To serve the ones He has created

To live a life of love and hope and joy

You have been created to live.

So choose today to be the day

that you truly choose to live.

Hey Lauren!
I've missed your posts, I hope you are doing well!
What a wonderful poem and an awesome tribute to your daughter, you've inspired me to write one to my daughter, and actually to all those that I love....
Thank you!
Love,
