As I ponder my life
there is one
constant absolute TRUTH
YOU were always there!
Even as a child
I felt safe in
the midst of turmoil,
I felt danger could
only harm me but
never destroy me.
I did not really know
YOU then,
but I knew YOU
knew me...
through foster homes
and other family members homes
to moving from our own
home to home -
with a father whom
I loved but never
loved me back
whose rejection became
a lifetime struggle
to be accepted
whose beatings
still hurt internally
even worse was
his sins against
me and my sister...
YOU have caused us LORD
to forgive him
and yet he still seeks not
THY FORGIVENESS nor ours....
He's just a distant memory
that I pray for...
For since the day
YOU revealed YOUR SALVATION PLAN
through JESUS DYING for my sins
YOU became my DAD
and I love YOU..
The hunger to be loved
and accepted
now has an overflow
and this poem could and does
go on forever...
I love YOU GOD
with all of my heart,
mind and soul!
