Love Grows Up
Resentment slumbered deep inside of his soul
Christ echo’s the words to love and forgive
Anger is deadly one day taking its toll
A child hurt and always betrayed
By those who should protect, nurture, and groom
He’s grown up angry, and somewhat frayed
Relationships so delicate, precious and fragile
A young boy inside, he ran to hearts
He leaped and bound through each so agile
Four walls erected to keep out the hurt.
No woman could reach him, and many had tried
His words as sharp as obsidian and curt
He wanted to love but never knew how
Then came a friend and demanded some time
He opened a book ‘the time has come; the moment is now’
The story of Jesus would change his whole life
Forgiveness was given by the blood of Christ
To learn of forgiveness and faith without strife
Today I am open to help and to love
God showed me mercy, forgiveness and grace
My wife is an angel sent from above
