Daughter of the King

My Speech

I want to say thank you first to the God of Heaven and earth.

He has watched over me everyday since my birth.

I stand here and testify that He is true, and holy and good.

And He has loved the way no one else could.

Jesus Christ is my Savior, my Friend and my King.

He is risen indeed, giving me a new song to sing.

We could go on and on to recall God’s merciful grace.

I hope to grow in love abiding in the light of His face.

I want to say thank you to my father and my mother.

They have given me care counsel and training unlike any other.

My parents have spent more then eighteen years

Providing and enduring amidst the joy and the tears.

They were tools in God’s hands, to teach me of Him.

I will never forget all that they have sacrificially given.

I want to say thank you to my siblings each one.

I can’t count the loving things you’ve said and done.

God has put us all together and we are so blessed.

Even though I don’t always show it and sometimes I’m stressed.

Continue on in the faith, love God, and work hard.

May He send His angels from heaven to watch and keep guard.

I want to say thank you to my friends so dear.

It’s been amazing to have you all so near.

You’ve helped and challenged my faith and my walk.

Thank you for giving your heart and listening when I talk.

I want to say thank you to my teachers for teaching.

It was their example and effort that made my goal worth reaching.

Thank you for the hours of work that you have invested.

I’ve realized that I am stronger since I have been tested.

I want to say thank you to our church, last but not least.

You are beautiful, you are precious and your works have not ceased.

I may be a bit biased but I love to worship with you all.

You have been faithful, and kind, always there when I fall.

I will miss you. I will remember, and the Lord’s name praise.

He has given all these amazing gifts throughout my growing days.

I am moving to Grove City College in the fall of this year.

Your and Christ’s love goes with me, so I shall not fear.

I want to teach History so I can share the glory of His plan.

By pointing to the path that other saints ran.

"Yet evermore I am with Thee,
Thou holdest me by my right hand.
And Thou even Thou my guide shalt be;
Thy counsel shall my way command;
And afterward in glory bright
Shall receive me to thy sight."
Psalm 73

Thank you.

*sob... giggle* I knew I was going to cry, but I tried really hard.
