My daughter in love
Life covered in roses
Sweet fluttering heart fooled
By this one who proposes
No Genuine spirit
To be found in the lad
A flourish of kindness
For a lifetime of bad
I witness the wilds
Of an eloquent user
Today opening doors
Tomorrow abuser
She sees delight
Where I see deception
Her kind heart clouded
By outward affection
Subtle warnings given
So not to alarm her
Knees planted by bedside
Lord let him not harm her
Again I am pleading
Somethings not right my dear
As I turn to disguise
My wiped away tear
Are these just the fears
Of my fatherly love
I return to my knees
Seeking help from above
Oh Lord please be with her
You know my apprehensions
A flashy young man
With misguided intentions
Lord make her your daughter
As you made me your son
Reign in her heart Lord
Till your will is done
Your arms are the place
Where I pray she will be
Carry her now Jesus
Just as you carried me
My tearful daughter approaches
The engagement has ended
Unraveled his falsehood
This man who pretended
I give thanks to the Saviour
And praise Him for Grace
As ambiguous tears
Stream down my face
Of joy for the lifting
Of this man’s disguise
Of sorrow for grief
In my baby girls eyes
I ask how did you see through
His deceptions and such
She said because the first one who loved me
Loved me so much
