Eve’s Daughter

I wrote the first draft of this poem on 29th September, 2007 and wrote the final copy on 8th October, 2007. Through the book ‘Captivating’ by Stasi & John Eldredge I have been discovering how much beauty means to God and I wanted to write a poem that captured beauty and also captured the beauty of woman and how special a woman is to God. “My Daughter” started out life entitled ‘Woman’.

However, God had other plans; He opened up a wound; a wound I discovered after a day at my parents’ house with the boys and without Tim. I used the  ‘Captivating Guided Journal’ to help me work through this wound. The path of restoration led to a place where you ask Jesus to come and heal you. You listen for his voice and hear what he is saying to you. And then you ask God to father you. Part of the prayer says ‘…Reveal your love for me. Tell me what I mean to you…’

The poem “My Daughter” was his answer to me. Every time I read this poem, and I read it every few days, I am in awe, I am amazed; not by my talent, but by the love God has poured out for me. And I believe this poem is not just God’s words for me, but for every woman alive.
