You Made Me Who I Am

You were my strength when I was weak You were my joy when sadness dwelt You were my voice when I was mute You were love when hate consumed me You were my courage when fear took control You showed me positivity when negativity reigned You showed me to see beauty instead of hate You reminded not to see color but to see God's child I owe you all that I am(the healthier version of me that's no longer broken) 11-14-16 Alexis Y

A very powerful poem, Alexis. God wanted this healthier version of you to shine forth to us, so we can see His loving Hand transform souls, and glorify His holy name. Ty for this blessed testimony as penned by your gracious hand. Love and more love to you and yours.
