Poem
I have spent my entire life searching for my own happiness in the hands of others Sad but true Never truly understanding that my happiness lies within me & within me lies the greatest of love of all You Lord you have given me more than I deserve & I have failed you more than I should But like the Hero that you are You save me from the demons in this world Through the dark and through the light You see me through You have given me clear sight It has taken trial & error to finally see That my purpose here is to live for you Not for me Growing up I remember giving you my all Praising you You were the keeper of my Heart & Soul But somewhere along the way I lost myself I lost it all It is sad to look back and see That you were always there Through it all Not once did you ever leave I say this is sad Because I ignored your presence & continued to do bad You witnessed the darkest times of my life But you didn’t give up You never let me go You held on and saw me through Because you have a plan & it is set in stone I woke up today realizing that I still have not given myself to you completely Like I had once before Maybe it is the fear of change Or habits that I need to break No matter what Either way I am done with going through the motions So here you go Lord My Soul is yours to take You are no longer Forgotten
