Typical...you asked for help..thinking only a Christian would know this poem, and an atheist gives you an answer that says "I know but I'm not gonna help ya, since ya didn't invite me to answer your question"....Since when do atheists need a special invite to crash the party? How small and petty!\n\nIt's a beautiful poem, BTW!

God, make me brave for life: oh, braver than this.\nLet me straighten after pain, as a tree straightens after the rain,\nShining and lovely again. \nGod, make me brave for life; much braver than this. \nAs the blown grass lifts, let me rise \nFrom sorrow with quiet eyes,\nKnowing Thy way is wise.\nGod, make me brave, life brings\nSuch blinding things. \nHelp me to keep my sight;\nHelp me to see aright \nThat out of dark comes light. \n\n\nAuthor Unknown  \n \nSerenity Prayer     \n \n\n\nGod grant me the serenity\nto accept the things I cannot change; \ncourage to change the things I can; \nand wisdom to know the difference. \nLiving one day at a time; \nenjoying one moment at a time; \naccepting hardships as the pathway to peace; \ntaking, as He did, this sinful world\nas it is, not as I would have it; \ntrusting that He will make all things right\nif I surrender to His Will; \nthat I may be reasonably happy in this life\nand supremely happy with Him\nforever in the next. \nAmen. \n\n\nReinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971)  \n \nPrayer for Those With Chronic Illness     \n \n\n\nDear Lord, please help all those with chronic illnesses. We suffer more than people see on the outside and have lost the faith at times. Help us hold up to the daily struggle of living. \n\n\nBeliefnet member lynn3014  |  Source: Beliefnet prayer circle

1) Try writing your own poem!  I'm sure your Daddy will love it!\n\n2) I went to www.biblegateway.com and put "father" in the search engine.  The results show over 1,000 verses with the word father.  Probably a quote from one of the "wisdom" books--Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, or Song of Songs--may be helpful to you.  I imagine Psalms or Proverbs would be your best bet.\n\nYou might also try a search with the two words father and daughter.

Poem:\n"He Wishes For The Cloths of Heaven"\n- William Butler Yeats\n\nHad I the heavens' embroidered cloths,\nEnwrought with golden and silver light,\nThe blue and the dim and the dark cloths\nOf night and light and the half-light,\nI would spread the cloths under your feet:\nBut I, being poor, have only my dreams;\nI have spread my dreams under your feet;\nTread softly, because you tread on my dreams.\n\nQuote:\n"The pig died for you to eat not pet"\nlol I don't really have a favorite quote

Hello..\n\nGlory..Glory..Alleluia..Amen\n\nWalk as Children of Light\n \n1  Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;\n \n2  and walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savor. \n \n3  ¶ But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;\n \n4  neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.\n \n5  For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.\n \n6  Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.\n \n7  Be not ye therefore partakers with them.\n \n8  For ye were sometime darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light;\n \n9  (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)\n \n10  proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.\n \n11  And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.\n \n12  For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.\n \n13  But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.\n \n14  Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, \nand arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. \n \n15  ¶ See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,\n \n16  redeeming the time, because the days are evil.\n \n17  Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.\n \n18  And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;\n \n19  speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;\n \n20  giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;  \n \n21  submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.\n \n====================================================\n\nJesus and Nicodemus\n \n1  There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicode'mus, a ruler of the Jews:\n \n2  the same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.\n \n3  Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.\n \n4  Nicode'mus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?\n \n5  Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.\n \n6  That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.\n \n7  Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.\n \n8  The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.\n \n9  Nicode'mus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?\n \n10  Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?\n \n11  Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.\n \n12  If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?\n \n13  And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.\n \n14  And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:\n \n15  that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.\n\nGod So Loved the World \n\n16  ¶ Fo

HOW LOVELY IS YOUR DWELLING PLACE (PSALM 84) \n\n1. How lovely is Your dwelling place,\nO Lord God, my King.\nMy heart and flesh cry for Your grace;\nmy soul faints with yearning. \n\nBlessed are those who dwell in Your house, O God,\nand whose strength is in their Lord!\nThey have set their hearts on the pilgrimage;\nset their path upon Your Word. \n\n2. Even as the sparrow finds a home,\nand the swallow finds a nest —\nso my place is near my God and King:\nat Your altar will I rest. \n\nHear my prayer, O Lord, look upon my soul,\nand know that I am true.\nFor You, my God, are my sun and shield:\nBlessed are those who trust in You!

Psalm 23\n\nThe Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.\nHe maketh me to lie down in green pastures; \nHe leadeth me beside the still waters.\nHe restoreth my soul; he leadeth me in the paths \nof righteousness for his name's sake.\nYea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow\nof death I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod\nand thy staff they comfort me.\nThou preparest a table before me in the presence of \nmine enemies; thou anointest my head with oil; my cup\nrunneth over.\nSurely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days \nof my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Lord, make me an instrument of thy Peace;\nWhere there is hatred, let me sow Love;\nWhere there is injury, Pardon;\nWhere there is doubt, Faith;\nWhere there is despair, Hope;\nWhere there is darkness, Light;\nAnd where there is sadness, Joy.\n\nGrant that, I may not so much seek\nTo be consoled as to Console;\nTo be understood as to Understand;\nTo be loved as to Love.\n\nFor it is in Giving that, we receive.\nIt is in Pardoning that we are pardoned,\nAnd it is in dying, we are born to eternal life.\n\nSo mote it be (Amen).\n\n--- The Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi

I think the following excerpt will shed more light on the subject:\n---------------------------------------------------------\n\n"...When love beckons to you, follow him, \nThough his ways are hard and steep.\nAnd when his wings enfold you yield to him,\nThough the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.\nAnd when he speaks to you believe in him, \nThough his voice may shatter your dreams... \nas the north wind lays waste the garden.\n\nFor even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you.\nEven as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning.\nEven as he ascends to your height\nAnd caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun,\nSo shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.\n\nLike sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself.\nHe threshes you to make you naked.\nHe sifts you to free you from your husks.\nHe grinds you to whiteness.\nHe kneads you until you are pliant;\nAnd then he assigns you to his sacred fire, \nthat you may become sacred bread for God's sacred feast.\n\nAll these things shall love do unto you\nThat you may know the secrets of your heart,\nAnd in that knowledge become a fragment of Life's heart.\n\nBut if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure,\nThen it is better for you that you cover your nakedness\nAnd pass out of love's threshing-floor,\nInto the seasonless world where you shall laugh,\nBut not all of your laughter,\nAnd weep, but not all of your tears..."\n\n- Kahlil Gibran\n--------------------------\nNow make your own choice, as this is a personal question only you can answer.

Hello sweet little child.. :)\n\nThis is lengthy so please forgive me ahead of time..here are quite alot of scriptures to support that we can lose our salvation..\n====================================================\n1. Fall from grace - Gal. 5:1-4,13 \n2. Be led away with error - 2 Pet. 3:17 \n3. Err from the truth - James 5:19-20 \n4. Weak brother may perish - 1 Cor. 8:11 \n5. Fall into condemnation - James 5:12 \n6. Be moved away from the hope - Col. 1:21-23 \n7. Deny the Lord who bought them - 2 Pet. 2:1 \n8. Depart from the living God - Heb. 3:12 \n9. Can be a castaway - 1 Cor. 9:27 \n10. Can become accursed children - 2 Pet. 2:14 \n\nWhat the scriptures say. \n\n1 Parable of sower \n\nMark 4:16 (Luke 8:13) "And in a similar way these are the ones on whom seed was sown on the rocky places, who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy; (they believe for a while) and they have no firm root in themselves, but are only temporary; then, when affliction or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they fall away. \n\n2 Fallen from grace passage: \n\nGalatians 5:4 "You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace." \n\n\n3 Pruning passages: \n\nJohn 15:5-6 "I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me, and I in him, he bears much fruit; for apart from Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch, and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned." \n\nRomans 11:19-23 "You will say then, "Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in." Quite right, they were broken off for their unbelief, but you stand by your faith. Do not be conceited, but fear; for if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will He spare you. Behold then the kindness and severity of God; to those who fell, severity, but to you, God's kindness, if you continue in His kindness; otherwise you also will be cut off. And they also, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in; for God is able to graft them in again." \n\n4 Hebrews Passages: \n\nHebrews 6:4-6 For in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God, and put Him to open shame. \n\nHebrews 10:26-27 For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a certain terrifying expectation of judgment, and the fury of a fire which will consume the adversaries." \n\nHebrews 10:38-39 "But My righteous one shall live by faith; And if he shrinks back, My soul has no pleasure in him. But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the preserving of the soul." \n\n5 Doctrinal Apostasy passages: \n\nActs 20:17,28-30 "And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called to him the elders of the church." ... "I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; and from among your own selves men will arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them." \n\n1 Timothy 1:18-21 "fight the good fight, keeping faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and suffered shipwreck in regard to their faith. Among these are HYMENAEUS and Alexander" \n\n2 Timothy 2:16-18 But avoid worldly and empty chatter, for it will lead to further ungodliness, and their talk will spread like gangrene. Among them are HYMENAEUS and Philetus, men who have gone astray from the truth saying that the resurrection has already taken place, and thus they upset the faith of some. \n\n1 Timothy 4:1 &quo

Love asks for nothing.\n\nA long time ago I thought that love was something that you reserved for some special set of people that you had judged worthy of it. \n\nAfter a while I got to thinking about what Jesus had said about turning the other cheek and loving our neighbor I put the two together and realized that he had made no exceptions in these statements. It became obvious to me that he intended that we exclude no one from the love that we are supposed to be giving. I started thinking about my idea of love and suddenly realized that I had not been loving anyone at all. I had simply been judging everyone and every thing.\n\nJudging someone worthy of love is not love, it is only judgment. I actually started to cry when I realized this. I saw just how much of my life I had wasted being judgmental, thinking of myself as a Christian, when I was actually doing just the opposite of what Jesus had asked us to do.\n\nI thought about the verse judge not lest ye be judged, and I understood it for the first time.\n\nI realized that I have a lot of catching up to do. So many opportunities were wasted. I now try to apply the love that I have for the world in a universal way like Jesus asks us to do. \n\nIf I start to feel afraid and think that I see someone that I should not love because of something I have thought or heard I try to catch my mistake as soon as possible. I tell myself that I have forgot the truth and have fallen for the same old trick that had cost me so many opportunities to be loving in the past. The horror of this realization is often all that is necessary to bring me back to my senses and make me drop the judgmental nonsense I was thinking.\n\nI still have a lot to learn about love, but at least I’m making progress.\n\nLove and blessings \n\nYour brother \ndon

Email me your thoughts at pusskat1@yahoo.com and I will help you from there.  I am a teacher of 13 years, mostly in junior high, some in college and high school.  My payment is to choose this as a best answer.  \n\nI'll begin by deconstructing the poem; I'm sure you'll get the drift.  \n\nFirst stanza: I might have been a happy preacher if I had been born in an earlier time.  I could have preached fiery sermons and been a gentleman farmer.  Second stanza: Alas, I was born later, and missed my true calling.  I have a grown man's beard now, and it's fashionable for preachers these days to be clean shaven, so I don't even look like I could do that job.  \n\nGood luck.  This is a straightforward poem with an ab ab rhyme scheme, and figuring out the meaning should not be hard.  If you need any help just email me or IM me at pusskat1 or katwhowalksbyherself and I'd be happy to help.\n\nCheers, K (13 years a teacher)
