It took three years and then some
To pull me down
Destroy
Make me less than
Unworthy
Unloved.
My impression is that
Truthfully
It was all about him.
It took one encounter
To lift me up
Encourage
Believe in me
And see my smile
My truth
My worth.
My impression is that
Thankfully
It is all about us.
He has crossed my path
And believed in me
He’s entered my life
And invited me in
I waited forever
I waited for him
His smile has truth
I will smile for him
My world has changed
I see colour again
The black and white spell
Has crumbled at last
His hand was extended
With firmness it shook
I steadied my gaze
And with surety
I stood.
Loneliness overpowered me
Like a lion devours its prey
I wrestled with my soul
I prayed my days away
I stumbled with my pain
You never let me fall
You are my balm, my strength
You are my life, my all
I prayed that you would love me
I prayed for only you
My prayers in time were answered
And now our vows stand true!
Everything we have
And everything we’ve been given
Are temporary gifts
Until we reach our heaven.
Blue skies above
And green trees below
Reflect our Father’s love
Because the Bible tells us so!
I’m sick of others killing people, including children, just because they feel like it. 😡
I floated down the river
Adrift
Directionless
Without a guide
Until I came upon a rock
Anchored in the muddy banks
I was able to pull myself up
And with the moving sun
I could find my way
To solid ground.
To allow myself sweet dreams
And tomorrow when the sun rises
I will be kind to myself
Because I’m worth it
I forgive him
For the pain that broke my heart
I forgive him
For tearing my soul and life apart
I forgive him
For loving me and walking away
I forgive him
For using me for his good pleasure
I forgive him
For all that he has done and said
And I forgive myself too
For lighting the fire
Stoking the flame
Burning my fingers
My hand
My heart
And going back
For more
More of the same
