Baptized and Dedicated

The 8th of July 2011,is a memorable day for me
For many more years it will be memorable still
My little Princess was baptized and dedicated to God
Though filled with joy I also had thoughts
Just as Mary, Blessed Mother had thoughts at the dedication of Jesus
I had openly acknowledged that I would be the Jesus that she sees
That I would be an open book, the Bible she would read
I had also said, God she belongs to you and have your way
It dawned on me that, these were responsibilities
These were committments made at the Altar of God
The Triune God was present, so were the Priest, Deacon, family and Friends
Many witnesses to remind me, to address me, to encourage me too
Her dad made the same committment and so we were two
Two are better that one, so they can hold each other up
Though we undertook a challenge, We still knew that
God by His Spirit will be with us all through and do his Will
Only as we have said She's yours Lord, may we always remember
She is God's child, We are Guardians, Stewards
Here to do our duty, the best we can
Let us be wiling ti let go and Let God
Baptized into Christ, Dedicated to God by the power of the Spirit
May God be PRAISED!!!!
