God, Remember

God, do You remember
that day You created me?
My baby blue eyes, were 
starring back at Thee?

I remember being blessed,
then You kissed my cheek.
I had seen tears in your eyes,
it had left a big wet streak.

God, just why did You ever cry?
I just don't understand why.

You don't know how hard
it was to let you go, My daughter,
I wanted you to stay here
with Me, your Heavenly Father.

I couldn't though, for I placed
in you, wonderful qualities,
I have given you talents to use,
and for other people to see.

I knew also, you'd have 
a rough road ahead,
By Satan and others, 
you would be mislead.

To this day, I've shed 
so many tears for you,
I've had to watch you try
to take your life, too.

Until today, you never 
gave it completely over to Me,
My daughter, can't you see
how your life now, can be?

Please understand, 
every word you write,
Helps those who have
dark days, turn bright.

Til that day, I bring you 
home to be with Me,
I'll be there, no matter 
where it may be.

That day is drawing very near,
I'll be able to wipe away all tears.

Daughter, I'll get to see you
once again, face to face.
We will at last embrace, 
all sorrow forever erased.
