Notes About The Poem

I'm Thankful

While His love replaced my scars
	with beautiful buds, vibrant hopes
		revealing the wonder of a song
			grace poured out on the soul
who knows that His love is like a story
	written on the night, across the heavens
		poetry in quiet moments, reassuring
			as the praise of the endless seas
eternity stills the relentless worries
	broken dreams, broken wings, brokenness 
		silence stirring the spirit’s spontaneity 
			arising like twilight on creation’s leaves

while His love repels the darkness
	the sordid dread, leftover grays
		working to tell the moments
			what it is to doubt, to fear
in life, there are moments that scream
	hesitating on the stillness of a dream
		fiery passions, hastening to believe
			while the light falls, shuddering
While His love colors the heart in belief
	there comes a tear, like dew on the leaf
		rising up, stilling the brokenness, the grief
			with a love that is beyond telling, so compelling

While His love is more than mysterious
	it is wise and strong, and always sees
		beneath the struggles, beyond the need
			into the soul who sincerely believes
into the soul who can find the wonder of peace
	within the love who God remembers to leave
		inside the spirit who knows His grace, His peace
			the one who He loves more than anything
while His love is more beautiful than a dream
	He knows that I love Him, love His light, His grace
		love Him so deeply that my praises surely sing
			of the wonder, the beauty, the love that brings me through
the love that is more than astute
	the love that restores the hope
		the love that is His gift to us
			the love that is alive and true
His love is the answer to my every need
	His love is the promise of unending peace
		His love is the light that ignites my praise
			His love is the reason I feel so amazed –
By Jesus, my beautiful Savior – my heart’s answer
	my heart knows a love and  is so thankful to God above!
