Heavenly Father

Author Dana Redricks

Lord thank you for delivering me
a little girl trapped
in me with the yearning to be free
She wanted to be released from
her past and boundage that tried
to hold her back
The enemy planted a seed of 
weeds who tried choke out her 
joy but the more he tried to steal
her joy the more you made her
She smiled when deep down she
felt crying 
Lord you gave her something that 
never stopped her from glowing
In her smile the world became 
a better place as revealed yourself 
to her
You reached out your hands to her
and beaconed her to come she 
climbed on to her Heavenly Father's 
lap as he held her in his tender loving 
arms
