Poem Title:
Poem
You and I will make a melody from words within our hearts In spite of all the hurt and pain we will rise above the degradation And in God’s universe find our niche among the trillion stars And though you were just a “dent” in the eyes of menacing foes Cast aside abandoned in desolation used and left for dead Your foes three times your age all dressed in familiar skin Looked with satisfaction when their work was done “Well done”! They thought, “Another one’s bound ‘n chained!” They taught you to lie, taught you to cheat, fed you bitter hate They left you cold and hungry for the love each soul requires “He will never know what it is to hope or how to trust again” “Never will he give nor have true love, not even for himself!” You learned to take what you needed, by any means at hand They made sure that peace was the poison pill you would never choose Yet, with all their machinations throughout eons past One truth they failed to grasp is the ultimate author is alive! His invisible hand has written the fate of mortal man Though try they may to rewrite man’s fate Unfeasible without consent A child preyed upon in innocence no consent he gives He tries to resist the powers that be and in the silence of his heart His tears like blood flow never-ending and God alone hears They sought your demise and failed as this was not written As He placed each star in the sky above each one He knows by name With love He heals their brokenness and infuses them with light Now a man renewed by grace and blessed with a “Father” you never had You’ve turned the page the past is gone a new story to be written As you defend love, write melodies, winning battles with your pen For My Jimmy w/love *Sunshine (Did I meet the challenge, Jimmy?) My SM's not working so write PM The Father Jimmy never had is our own Marty Owens. May God bless him and his family always!
