He Still Loves Me

HE ALWAYS LOVED ME 4-2-09 All of my life, He loved me I first took notice of it When I was about three(3) Every tear, every frown Lifts my spirit, when I need to be unwind At age seven(7) He taught me, how to be a true friend And how to return genuine love Even way back then When I was about nine or ten(9-10) Someone else took my innocence Who’d I thought was a family friend And…That Man Loved Me By Eleven or possibly twelve(11-12) It happen to me again So I took off running away from Him Because of another horrible man That wasn’t the plan When I was fourteen(14) I felt no longer clean thought I Had no father figure to listen to My hopes and dreams By fifth teen(15) I found my first love We indulged in adult things We had no business, we had a child And…This Man Still Loved Me With unconditional love, and a lot of beguile At Seventeen(17) I was on my second bout, with another mans child But He still showed me that he loved me Without a doubt Between then and the last of my teens, I had been running about, still looking for love When a stranger came on the scene, my envy had turn green No physical love in my world, just trouble and strife I was trying to figure out how to again, Come clean So I married a man who claimed to except me and my kids, I had no idea that he was abusive and would beat my ass And fracture my ribs Twenty one now and two(21 children later I realized that the man I trusted and married Wasn’t my hero, he was nothing but a hater To be beaten and stripped of my dignity and pride I was going down fast, from where I thought I was In for the long haul, not a pretentious, joyride And after all this, He Still Loved Me By age twenty two(22), He gave me the OK, on what and how to do What should’ve been done when His love for me was new He did an instant replay of my life, Reminding me of my innocence He reminded me of His Agape Love And that it came without a price He said: your season here is over and done For your battles are no longer under the gun He said: I never stop loving you And before all is said and done You are again with child, and with this seed you carry I have evened the score, And peace and harmony in your life, I already begun to restore.
