He Blessed Me
He blessed me with a family I dearly love
He blessed me with a spirit sent from God above
He blessed me with the knowledge he is there for me
He blessed me with his light even when I couldn't see
He blessed me with compassion to offer a helping hand
He blessed me with ability to see his footsteps in the sand
He blessed me with faith I could somehow muddle through
He blessed me with knowledge of the things I must pursue
He blessed me with the strength to walk through that prison door
He blessed me with insight to see he had better things in store
He blessed me with the will to hold on to him when I wasn't strong
He blessed me with courage to fight even when it seemed to long
He blessed me with a mothers heart to love unconditionally
He blessed me with knowledge I might also falter occasionally
He blessed me with hope I might be fogiven for mistakes along the way
He blessed me with faith that I can return to him someday

I think the hardest thing so far was walking into the prison to visit my son. Heart
broken
and afraid I prayed with all my might I would be able to do it. Yet knowing this
was the
right thing if he had not gone he would most likely be dead.The Lord has given
me so much.
Along with lots of trials to help me find my own inner strength.
