My Little Sister, a Woman

for Lindsay

She has a smile as big
as Texas and a heart
as good as gold.
Although her girlish
glee is contagious, she
is no longer the timid,
uncertain schoolgirl
that I once knew. She
is a beautiful, dignified
woman secure in her
future and sure of her
place. She knows of
her calling, her Father
and her giftings, and
is stepping out now
to fulfill her God-given
destiny. She is a woman
I admire; she is a
woman I cherish; she is
a display of His splendor.
