Sweet, young woman friend of mine,

What an honor my relationship with you, how divine!
-

Of all the knowledge and wisdom I possess,

Which should be withheld, which should be shared, I must assess.

-
If you were my daughter, I'd give guidance and lessons galore!

My teachings sufficient for your life experiences, I would implore.
-

If you were my sister, I’d sweeten your experience.

We’d giggle and support each other with great exuberance.
-

Special, young woman friend of mine,

To me you are both daughter and sister combined.
-

In choosing my words and my actions I am sometimes confounded.

The responsibility of your gentle soul in my presence, has left me dumbfounded.
-

I struggle, pray and ponder what as your leader I should say,

That would mean the most to you and set you on your way.
-

My thoughts are turned to leaders past; they’re turned to Jesus Christ,

I study how he taught by example, how he lovingly enticed.

-
Of all the things to say and do, “Father not my will be done, but thine.”

Is what he said, Wondrous, young woman friend of mine.

-

In sacrifice, love and humility he subjected himself to another.

He taught a great lesson, all leaders, be willing to be lead by your brother.
-

So, of all the knowledge and wisdom I could impart to you...

I will, instead be more like Christ, and let you teach me too.
