Beautiful Caroline

One of my parents at school brought me this poem she wrote for Caroline. Melissa was sitting EARLY one morning doing her devotion this week when she felt that God was telling her to write down these words. She claims that she is not a poet (I'm not sure if I believe her!!!), but I do belive that God provided her with these words. As I read it, I began to cry! (Imagine that!) It is the most beautiful and sweetest thing! I'm going to get it written in calligraphy and framed and put it in her room. What a sweet reminder that God is in control and He hears my prayers! Thank you Melissa!


Beautiful Caroline
You are held so near yet feel so far
Beautiful Caroline
Your Mom's heart's desire for such a long time
Beautiful Caroline
You were chosen with love from a Father above
Beautiful Caroline
And so your Dad waits for his princess with love
Beautiful Caroline
The timing's not ours but it's perfect and true
Beautiful Caroline
We trust in our hearts that you'll be home soon
Beautiful Caroline
Until then we pray and have sweet dreams of you
Beautiful Caroline
The precious gift of the One who is Faithful and True
Beautiful Caroline
