Love Grows Up

Resentment slumbered deep inside of his soul Christ echo’s the words to love and forgive Anger is deadly one day taking its toll A child hurt and always betrayed By those who should protect, nurture, and groom He’s grown up angry, and somewhat frayed Relationships so delicate, precious and fragile A young boy inside, he ran to hearts He leaped and bound through each so agile Four walls erected to keep out the hurt. No woman could reach him, and many had tried His words as sharp as obsidian and curt He wanted to love but never knew how Then came a friend and demanded some time He opened a book ‘the time has come; the moment is now’ The story of Jesus would change his whole life Forgiveness was given by the blood of Christ To learn of forgiveness and faith without strife Today I am open to help and to love God showed me mercy, forgiveness and grace My wife is an angel sent from above
