'Called to Be'
From a small oak comes a great and mighty tree. From a small parish on a little island, Comes a lady to represent helpless babies, Infants and toddlers as well as teens. |
As small as your beginnings may seem, You mustn’t shy away from who you were called to be. Speak boldly and confidently at every given opportunity. Always stand for what is right, Even when it does not conform with the beliefs of the majority. For you must never forsake who you are called to be. |
Beware of wolves in sheep’s clothing, And politically correct quotes. Always apply the word of God, Because it will remind you of who you are called to be. Maintain the balance of justice and love And safeguard the rights of every child. |
In a world where the focus is on what everyone wants, Be a constant advocate for what our children need. Like Esther, take hold of your new platform, Not to do as you wish, But to be the one that God has called you to be. |
