Beautiful daughter

Do you look out on the ocean
                and want to get away
                                to escape?
 
Do you sometimes
                want to drown?
                                To not feel anymore?
 
That is not because
                there is no hope.
 
                                Rather,
 
it is because
                I have created you
                                                for something greater.
 
You are my Beloved.
                You belong to no one
                                but me.
 
Sink into my arms,
                the waves of grace and mercy,
                                freely given for you
 
I have chosen you,
                my Bride.
