The Kamps are our dearest friends on this forgotten mission field. Alisah, one of the Kamps girls, had a birthday recently. I wrote this poem for her, because I think she is a dear sweet girl. I haven't always been the example I should be, and I want to be so much better than I am. I hope that God can in some way blind others to my many faults and mistakes and use me to be a blessing and example, though imperfect, to those younger than myself.
Alisah, I just want to publicly say that I love you and I'm proud of you! Keep on going, girl! =)
You’re blossoming into a beautiful rose
With the personality God individually chose.
He created you with a very special plan;
May you please Him in every single way that you can.
~
Let the fragrance of your life send sweet aromas everywhere,
So with others Christ’s love you can tenderly share.
May the colors of your bud be a live and radiant hope
For some poor and lonely soul who in darkness does grope.
~
May the soil in which you’re planted be ever rich and good,
So with faithfulness and honor you do the things you should.
I pray God’s blessing falls like a gentle rain all around,
For in you a sweet young lady we all have surely found.
~
May you have all the best in the important years ahead;
Don’t wish them away, but treasure each day instead.
Your time at home is short, and adulthood is almost here;
Whatever lies before you, the Everlasting God is near.
~
Your family and friends treasure you, dear girl!
Whatever others think, we know you’re a precious pearl.
From the course God has chosen never turn aside or sway.
We love you lots, Alisah. Happy 14th Birthday!!!
