For Him

I am beautiful
bathing in the light
of his glory
Unashamed
Boastful even
Proud to declare
his love for me
has elevated my being
to a higher state
Doubt, desperation and depression
no longer 
within reach
light years away
from my realm of 
possibilities
Thankful I am
That he continues 
to show me
the way to be
despite my humanity
I glow
in a world that purposely
attempts to dim my light
Extinguish my internal flame
which burns brightly
For I reside
where love for self is king
Because 
I was made 
in the image of
by
and for
him
