So i'd just gotten back from the NCU fall retreat with my brother floor, and i was just relaxing in my dorm room when i came a cross this poem Lydia's Grandmother had written her. The title was "Before I Find A Boy I Love" and this is how it went:
Before I Find A Boy I Love
Oh Lord, I have a Big request
Which I must ask you now
Before I found a boy I love
I pray you show how.
I know your Word is very clear
On what a boy should be
Don't let my feelings mix me up
But give me eyes to see
Keep me from boys who turn my heart
From you with looks or charm
Protect me from temptations and
Those things which bring me harm
Help discern all those sweet words
And actions which are fake
Guide me to see what's right
What's wrong
My love for you is at stake
Help me consider only boys
with lives that would please you
Whose focus is to serve you well
And do what you would do
Lord help me find a boy that's wise
That seeks and does what's right
So if I choose to follow him
We'll both walk in your light
Show me a boy that knows you well
That spends much time with you
So he can know and do your will
And love just like you do
I know that if I follow you
And puts you first in all
The boy I find will be your choice
Our purity wont fall
Prepare me Lord to be a girl
That such a boy will choose
To grow with him close to your heart
With you we cannot lose
