My Poetry
Grateful
When I was going through the darkest time of my life,
It's a time that I will never forget, for there was so much strife
The very pain that I felt during that time was deep
Most of my days, all I could do was weep
Only God knew how broken my heart was, shattered
Every piece of my shattered heart, God had gathered
He comforted me, and He put me back together again
Through it all, Lord Jesus, became my champion
I pray that no one has to go through what I did
And things I went through, it was never hid
For a long time, I refused to talk about it
Now, I am no longer afraid to, I admit
Domestic violence was a very scary thing to go through
I constantly felt like I wasn't good enough and blue
My only child, I had to say goodbye to for she was adopted
It wasn't something that I thought would happen or wanted
I wasn't given a choice, it was tough on me
I was very miserable, and I wasn't free
After that, I just wanted to end it all
It felt like I ran into a brick wall
I cried out to Lord Jesus many nights
It was full of darkness, and no bright lights
I felt like each day, a little part of me died
And most day, all I did was cried
God had brought me through it all
He held onto me so I would not fall
I had many conversations with Jesus through it all
And it's something that I am grateful still to this day
When I was very afraid
God made me strong
I'm thankful for God's aid
God made me feel like I belonged
As I look back on it all, I was very blessed and still am today
God helps me when I am in need and I have lost my way
I owe Lord Jesus so much, but can never repay Him
And today, I don't see anything that seems to be grim
Today, I am alive and I am free
All the credit goes to God and not me
I'm happy and I am grateful
Lord Jesus, I am very appreciative
It's a time that I will never forget, for there was so much strife
The very pain that I felt during that time was deep
Most of my days, all I could do was weep
Only God knew how broken my heart was, shattered
Every piece of my shattered heart, God had gathered
He comforted me, and He put me back together again
Through it all, Lord Jesus, became my champion
I pray that no one has to go through what I did
And things I went through, it was never hid
For a long time, I refused to talk about it
Now, I am no longer afraid to, I admit
Domestic violence was a very scary thing to go through
I constantly felt like I wasn't good enough and blue
My only child, I had to say goodbye to for she was adopted
It wasn't something that I thought would happen or wanted
I wasn't given a choice, it was tough on me
I was very miserable, and I wasn't free
After that, I just wanted to end it all
It felt like I ran into a brick wall

All the credit goes to God and not me
I'm happy and I am grateful
Lord Jesus, I am very appreciative
