Inheritance

As I sit here wondering
What have I to give
What have I achieved
In all the years I’ve lived

What have I of value
For your inheritance
Not a lot that in the world
Would make a lot of sense

But riches in the spirit
And treasures of the heart
Yes, my darling daughters
That I can impart

A zeal for Christ the Savior
A love that has no bounds
A faith to keep you anchored
If storms of life should pound

Prayers for your protection
Integrity and such
For character and honor
All things that matter much

A joy which transcends sorrow
A strength to lean upon
The author of the book of love
And Heaven’s joyful song
