Blessed Sisterhood

There is a special role, which only girls can fill,
Created by the Lord, part of His Sovereign will.
A mighty power have we, who have sister for a name,
A role to be desired, much more than wealth or fame.

We as sisters must be gentle, - patient, loving, kind,
Not thinking of ourselves, but having others on our mind.
Whenever you speak, seek to build up another,
Give loving praise, to your sister and your brother.

We must submit to authority, and respectfully obey,
Carrying fully out with joy, all that our parents say.
For we set an example, we are watched in all we do,
May our actions honor Christ, our words please Him too.

I tell you dear maiden, with siblings in your life,
Be a blessing unto others, not to them a source of strife.
Embrace the role of sister, thank God that you can see,
That He’s placed you where you are, in your own family.

When eager little hands, wish to join you in a task,
Do not sigh within your heart, and wish they did not ask.
Instead, pause and pray, that God would give to you,
Patience and forbearance, for those who follow you.

Speak of the Lord, and all that He has done,
From the beginning of each day, to the setting of the sun.
We are told to remember, the mercies of the Lord,
So speak often of His deeds, the blessings He’s out poured.

How often we forget, who’ve been blessed with sisterhood,
What a help we can be, a blessing if we would.
God’s given us a task, may it be our great delight,
To embrace this noble call, serve Him with all our might!
