For my God and my mom and dad

Today I was at last able to see the broken children playing house As I studied that little girl and boy I found the same in me Though trying so hard not to reinfect I caused other wounds of my own Caught up in the rip tide of cause and effect She swam for the shore alone I take that back but for Gods love Our heroine would surely have sank So praise I offer from my hearts very depth to HE Who pulled me to the bank And opened my eyes to the truth of all things Unclutching my heart from this pain Releasing my grip taking my hand in his watching his loyal merciful love rain
