Poem
My Life Found Meaning Because of God When I Was An Overprotected Child I had the heart of a child. I thought like a child. I dreamed like a child. I did chores like a child. I had bliss like a child. I forgave like a child. I worshiped like a child. I steadily grew like a child Until the day came that: I was no longer a child. When I Became a Young Woman My whole world fell apart. Into many broken pieces lay my heart. I tried to reassemble what was bitter…tart. Life was not as sweet as at the start. Arrows of hatred pierced my soul like darts. I, disrespected, was the devil’s work of art. Self-loathing flew off the chart! Cruel coldness, plucked my joy’s cart. The bliss that I once knew did depart. Many choices that I made were not smart. Trembling and wrecked by blackhearts. I willfully withdrew my heart, every part. My soul begged for death God could impart. Joys that I knew long before did depart. …And God Ached When He Saw My Pain. He knew that my world was not the same. A big dose of reality enjoyed its fame. A mind-wrenching flurry filled my brain. Constant fear and worry became ingrained. Naïve choices unexpectedly flamed. Satan’s most dreadful keys upon me took aim. Bending understanding was the devil’s game. Rationalization hit and made its claim. I could not forgive my own heart of its blame. My, once pure, wishes were rearranged. The trepidation of life everyday remained. Bit by bit, my soul grew dreadfully lame. But— Even though my life seemed to be untamed. And those who stared secretly mocked my shame. My soul cried out to God to heal my pain. And within this lonely holy temple, my frame, Through prayer and supplication, God, came Each new day began renewed again and again. When I Knew That I Was in the Care of my God I began to feel in my heart the love of God. I began to dream of eternity with God. I began to reach for the Kingdom of God. I began to feel and know the joys of God. I grew in spirit; I met me, a child of God. I began to worship the Son of God. I began to forgive as forgiven by God. I finally understood the love of God. I lived no longer in sin, but a child of God. When I Began to Share My Gifts From God My soul mate knocked on my front door. And life became more blissful…evermore. While together, we do, Our Lord, adore. Selah
