Looking back on my own Youth.

I found myself trying to make sense of my life.

Reviewing each turn

each twist

each decision

that brought me to today.

 

I thought of others I shared my life with.

Many are gone now

from this earth.

Many I miss terribly.

Many I wish I could talk to today.

 

I thought today

of the women in my life.

Each unique.

Each did I love with passion.

 

In my life

each person

in some way

chiseled-pointed me

to who I am today.

 

Did these humans

in my life

truly love me?

 

I have come to the place

that I realized they did not.

At first it was a devastating thought.

 

A light of thought

a brilliance of warmth

entered my heart.

 

It was my Lord and Savior

Who loved me all along

the path of my life.

 

Showing His Love for me.

Carrying me through the darkness.

Blessing my life

in spite of my adversities.

Bless His Name

this day.
