You Love My Soul

I love you because you have always been the lover of my soul. Even when my life was completely out of control, When a worm body I wanted to hold, None around, You loved my soul. When I needed someone else To feel like myself When my self esteem Was put on a shelf You loved my soul. At the points in my life When I wanted to die When all my thoughts were I, I, I, You loved my soul. When I had no human friends And it seemed My world came to an end, You loved my soul. You loved my soul before the thought of my conception was milliseconds old, You loved my soul. When my body was racked by tragedy, from a blown out knee to things inside me, You loved my soul. You loved my soul When at 18 years old I had a daughter to hold. No rings, no marriage Even a prayer of miscarriage You loved my soul. You always have and always will even inspite of the things I do, That often puts distance Between me and you, I love y ou Abba Lord and thank you graciously Because you love my soul Even in spite of me.
