Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

Who am I a question often I ask
not wanted but adopted when born
then have had stammer all my days
making it struggle to sound my horn

In mid twenties met with God
receiving His merciful love so divine
found great desire for His truth
so transforming effect be all mine

Learn that God has personal purpose
set out  for my life alone
having put His son on Calvary's cross
dying for me my sins to atone

Now retired and able to write
enjoy God's peace not be afraid
God's creation perfected by His hand
fearfully and wonderfully made

Celebrating silver wedding anniversary
this month such a blessed time
life's memories encapture happiness
so fully entwined with advantageous rhyme

( written this year ago my silver anniveresary was a year ago at this time)
