Exposed

He exposed me to the hurt and lies, the brokenness, pain and distrust The selfishness, the cheating, the loneliness and the lust The darkness, the sadness, the hurtful words, the madness The bitterness, the struggles, the anger and rejection Confusion, disappointment, lack of love and affection The battle shoes worn, the hurt of a woman scorn And then I met you - Thank you for exposing me to what and how real love should be The warmth of your heart, that I am a major part The passion of intimacy, the times we shared I truly miss Thank you for exposing me to the gentleness of your kiss You exposed me to precious moments in time Where in that moment you were all mine To the colors, the sunshine, the brightness, the ray The prism of light, the beauty of each day You exposed me to the vision the world has yet to see The smiles you bring and the love you have that's only just for me Thank you for exposing me to the smell of your scent To the softness of your neck, I so love to peck To knowing what making love without insertion is like And the value of self worth Thank you for removing all the darkness, lies and hurt I think about the times you exposed me to the fullness of caress And allowed me to hear your heart beat As I laid my head on your chest I have always been exposed - Thank You Heavenly Father for exposing me to Your goodness For I have been exposed to Your mercy and grace And Your protection covering me as I went from place to place To the joy and laughter, great strength and health The blessings, favor and overflow, the prosperity and the wealth Thank You Father for exposing me to peace, wisdom, patience and love Thank You for never leaving me and watching me from above For strength, confidence and endurance For the vision, abundance, the newness, calmness and simplicity And yeah... all that good stuff - I thank You!
