A Symbol of Faith

Bondage tis not this symbol of mine

Not a symbol of vanity or ungodly shrine

Protecting my heart and sealing my mind

Daily nudges and subtly reminds.

Keyhole it has for a key daddy wears

Never away from his jacket to tear

Until the day he gives it to say

That he willingly gives his daughter away.

A commitment protecting me from the world’s useless mire

To joyful submission to God’s own desire.

I will not give in to the devil at play

Though he might try, my heart he won’t sway.

My life this ring guards, my heart it protects

God’s best for my life I will humbly expect

I’ll give my purity to someone, one day in God’s time.

Purity is a gift, that gift is mine.
