Wilma Neels Poet Free verse

'i Stand Amazed'

As the dust settles 
On another year added to my life 
I stand amazed God, 
Once again you have proven
Your wisdom and perfect timing 

There were trials, pain and victories 
Moments that required 'a try again' 
You have been there
Every step of the way 

Sometimes I wanted to question - 
Then calmness settle 
Cause a lesson needed to be learned 

Today I just want to say 
"Thank you Lord" 
'Cause without you, 

I would not have made it… 
You knew my worth
You knew my ability
You saw the best in me  
When I sometimes questioned it
