My Jesus

I inched my way towards the end of this year 
with a hopeful prayer on my heart 
The last few years have been so challenging 
to say the least. 
The truth of the matter is the best blessing of all, 
turned out to be you.  

There were moments when I felt despair 
and there were days when I almost gave up 
Life had become a series of uncertain events 
and so, I clung to my Faith like a lifeboat from heaven 
and waited rudder in hand, dreaming of calmer waters 
I observantly counted each favored blessing
until I came to the realization that 
the best blessing of all this year was 
you, my Jesus, dear *
