I'm looking for a poem I could read to my goddaughter's baptism. I would love to read something feminist but most of the feminist poetry I know is quite dark, hence my question in this sub today. I'm looking for some beautiful writing full of hope, so that she can cherish it and come back to it as she grows older (the poem would be printed and framed) (apologies if this is an odd request)
Thank you :)
I have come across an interesting poem by James Russell Lowell titled "Verses, Intended to go With a Posset Dish to My Dear Little Goddaughter" written in 1882. Altough the the theme and the meaning in this poem seem to me obvious, i have struggled to understand the last three stanzas. What do you think?

https://genius.com/Joe-cocker-and-jennifer-warnes-up-where-we-belong-lyrics So, I've been reading your stories and initially thought 'wow, I must be lucky because I don't have these problems with FMIL.' But after adding up some BEC moments from the past year and after this weekend it seems she's letting her JNMIL side out, and I blame you all for making me aware (I kid, I kid, I'm thankful I know to see this as what it is because you've all shared your misery and cautionary tales with me) of my FMIL problem! This is kinda long an I REALLY apologize for it, but bear with me if you can!
A little background info: FH is youngest of 2 boys. FBIL is 4 years older than FH and engaged as well (getting married the month after us) and his fiancé (FSIL) is awesome but FH and FBIL haven't really been that close due to BIL going LC with the family a few years back, but we live in the same town about 3 hrs away from FFIL and FMIL. FH told me when we were in the "meeting family" phase that his mom emotionally overreacts and gets a little wacky, like crying if she gets the wrong gift for her birthday or getting upset if her son's don't do something with her for Mother's Day. I didn't want to assume bad things about his mother and suggested that maybe since she was pegged as overly sensitive because FFIL instilled his sons with the belief that you never show emotions ever to anyone (more on this later) which FH agrees isn't the most healthy way to have a relationship with any loved ones. As for me, I do have a big family that's very close to one another and they are still heavily involved in the church I grew up in and we are getting married in (we aren't very religious and since I moved, I haven't gone religiously to church anywhere but we do go there once in a blue moon mainly to spend time with my family and members of the church I grew up close to since it is a small church, under 100 members) but we are still keeping the guest list to 100 people for the wedding that's nontraditional (mixed genders in the groom and bridal party, my friend's parents both doing the service that's not religiously oriented) and having a bigger reception that night that's more of a party.
Let’s go back to this past Christmas and we are engaged as well as FBIL and FSIL... Neither of them chose FFIL as best man, he is... cold. FFIL has never told either son he loves them in their collective memories. Ever. But that's another can of worms for another sub. While both made this decision, FH is the only one who answers FMIL's group text asking both sons what FFIL needs to know about suit choices as he is the best man. FH just texts that he hasn't picked out what he wants to wear yet and will let FFIL know but he chose his best friend (FBIL did too, but he just ignored the text) and FH gets a call from FMIL. I can hear her screaming at him from across the living room that his father has been waiting to be the Best Man at his sons weddings since they were born (kinda weird) and it's a family tradition (never mentioned before) and she can't believe that they would break his heart this way (he has feelings?) and she hopes that we have a son that we raise and he decides to chose some random friend (best friend of 10 years) over FH! FH tries to calm her down and says that he hopes IF we decide to have kids and IF we have a son, that he hopes he chooses the person he believes fits whatever the role of Best Man means to him IF he wants to get married and that he had never heard of this tradition and didn't make a choice to hurt anyone's feelings. She then starts saying how she can't believe that he would do this to his father, especially after she stuck her neck out for him just a few months back, or had he forgotten the favor she did for him? He said he didn't know what she meant, and she says scoff "you have already forgotten where your engagement ring came from?!" as though she were proclaiming a checkmate in a chess match against satan himself. FH looked angry and hurt (his maternal GF gave HIM his deceased GM's ring when FH told GF he was proposing to me ((pretty sure I'm GF's favorite))) and he took a deep breath and said, "you're just grasping at straws to hurt me, I'll talk to dad and we can talk again when you're not so upset." Which sounds great, right? Except she starts in again and he doesn't just hang up. She says that FFIL has no part in our wedding and she doesn't either (ah, there it is!) and we haven't included her in anything (well, besides the engagement, my dress fitting, picking out the MOH dress ((my MOH is my bamfbff and invited her to come since she didn't have any daughters and is in love with my goddaughter the MOH's daughter)) and the flower girl ((MOH's DD)) dress, helping with wedding colors, food choice suggestions, and asking her to make a list of the family members she wants at the wedding with addresses that we didn't get until the week before invitations were supposed to go out) and she doesn't have a part in the wedding either. FH asks her what she wants us to include her in (I'm trying to bite my tongue and not yell through the phone my new poem "how thou art mistaken, let me count the ways") and she is crying at this point and says that they just want to be included and hangs up. Now, I was pissed because FH is visibly upset and very hurt by this conversation but still I try to explain that she is overreacting but it might just be because she is hurt and doesn't know how to express that (Forgive me friends! This was preJNMIL and I knew not what I was doing) and suggested ways to let his dad know that he wasn't the best man that weren't as rude as calling him up with "Hey pops, I don't know if you've actually thought about this but just wanted to let you know that you're NOT the Best Man!" While there were a few other moments (BEC stuff I may post later) that added together into a warning, at the time we didn't think it would be a big deal... until this past weekend.
So let me go ahead and admit fault here, this is my first wedding. This is also FH's first wedding. We haven't really been closely involved in a big, traditional wedding which didn't seem like an issue since we don't want a big traditional wedding. So when my cousins decide to host a Bridal Shower for the church (no invitations, just an announcement in the church bulletin the Sunday before) I didn’t even think to invite FMIL because she doesn’t know anyone who will be there apart from my Mother. I didn’t even know about this shower until two weeks ago when my cousin called and asked if we could do it then because she was picking a date for the announcement and she’s free that weekend. FMIL wouldn’t have even known about the shower if cousin hadn’t posted on the church facebook page and tagged me in it. She saw the tag on FB and texted me Saturday “How are the wedding plans going?” I was driving with FH and my mom in the car so I had FH text her back. I’ve learned the correct answer isn’t “fine” or “good” so when asked, I do an information dump and say what I would like her help with if she wants to be involved, but that doesn’t seem to be the correct answer either. I knew she was pissed already so when he texted back he just got the shower out of the way first “We’re having a church shower tomorrow, we sent out the wedding invites this week, still working on the party invites, thinking of (theme) for them, what do you think? We still need to pick a time to talk to you about the food choices for the rehearsal dinner so if you want to let us know a time we can get together we’d love to see you guys!” See what we did there? Trying to point out a few ways she’s involved? Not good enough! “Have fun at the shower” is her response. He decides and long story long, screams and cries about how she should have been invited to this shower! How could he direct quote “leave her out in the cold” like this?! FH tries to calm her down and explain this wasn’t an intentional slight against her, we didn’t know she would want to make an 8 hour round trip to a 2 hour shower filled with people she doesn’t know. She yells that the mother of the groom is supposed to be at every shower because it’s tradition (honestly at this point all I can think of is Tevye from Fiddler on the Roof “Traditioooooooonnnnnn TRADITION!”) and we are robbing her of any involvement she is supposed to have in this wedding. Now, not only is she making my fiancé feel terrible, but now she is making my mother feel bad, while she wasn’t hosting this shower (my cousins did it to help her out because she is the ONLY parent that’s actually helped us out financially and with some medical bills she and my SF are dealing with she has a very tight budget… did I mention his parents are well-off? As in huge house 5b3ba in a su-uper nice HOA suburb, new car every year for BOTH of them kind of well-off) she immediately texts my dad’s wife and start throwing together a whole new shower so that she can be invited. Did I mention my MOH has already been planning a shower and is trying to get FMIL to invite their family and to help set it up? Yeah, she hasn’t planned a shower herself, but my MOH is bending over backwards to try and get her involved in one shower and now my mom feels like she has to throw another one just to appease FMIL.
I wish this is where the story ended, but she called 2 other times in the next 24 hours. One to ask what color dress my mom was going to wear because FMIL hasn’t decided yet and didn’t want to get the same color (?) and when FH says “She has a red dress she just picked out.” Her response is one of those growl sighs normally associated with angsty teenagers and “Fine, I guess any red dress is out. What color does Ashers want me to wear?” Um, no, I’m not that stupid! I reiterated our wedding colors and said that whichever color she likes best, I want her to wear that, and if she would rather wear a different color I’m sure it will be beautiful as well. Honestly, she can wear the same dress I will be and I do not even care anymore, because I don’t even feel like this is my wedding, I don’t care about one day, I just want to be married to FH and the marriage is what I’m excited about. That’s what matters to me. I am upset because she is manipulating and taking emotional jabs at the people I care about. My loved ones are bending over backwards so her feelings aren’t hurt, but she doesn’t even consider how much she is hurting her own son and making him dread his wedding.
Oh, and the last call of the weekend? It was just to remind him that his father is still upset that he doesn’t have a part in the wedding either.
Greetings all. Long story short. I'm working in conjunction with my goddaughters godmother (I'm the godfather) on a poem she wrote. We are going to have it done in calligraphy and then framed. She wrote the poem, I'm handling the art aspect of it.
Since it is not my poem, I'm not really comfortable to change any of the words around. Personally, I would change a bunch, but it's hers. IF you feel like changing any grammar, feel free though. Maybe I can run it by her. Don't think she would want to change any of it though. Punctuation and such though is another story.
The artist just wants to make sure it's correct. It's a rhyming scheme poem. Start:
My precious little godchild I felt so truly blessed,
The day your parents asked me, the day I said "yes".
Since then we all waited for that phone call to come through,
Telling us that an angel fell from heaven and that angel is you.
You have arrived in a world where things will not always go your way,
But always remember you have people around that will love you each and everyday.
Just so you know I do live far away,
But please don't ever let that veer you if you are having a rough day.
I will hold your hand and stand by your side,
I will be your model, your teacher and your guide.
I will give you time with the thoughts of you each day,
I will keep you in my prayers as you find your way.
My wish for you is to keep God by your side,
Let Him be your light, your center and your guide.
