Gods' Love

As a child my life had no love,
                                              it was something I only dreamed of;
                                              my father would beat me every day, 
                                              that i would die is what I'd pray;
                                              my mother looked me in the eye and said,
                                              it shouldn't be your brother, but you that's dead;
                                              the pain of her words tore at my heart,
                                              From this world, I prayed to God to depart;
                                              but He wouldn't take me, He gave me no peace,
                                              From this world he would give me no release;
                                              so I lived on and I learned to share my love,
                                              the one thing God granted me from high above;
                                              so with my poems, my love I will share,
                                              with the woman in my life, and all who care.
