May 2002

I shivered alone

in my tiny cave

hidden away

in my own handmade grave

drowning in self pity

feeling lost and unloved

when suddenly spoke

a voice from above

"let Me in child,

come back to Me"

I pushed it away

ignoring the plea

for so long I sat

alone in that place

with scars of rejection

no one could erase

till one day I broke

the tears filled my eyes

I struggled to stand

as I looked to the sky

I fell on my knees

as I let myself feel

I begged for forgiveness

and knew this was real

I finally went home

and at last knew God's grace

for when I least deserved it

He showed me the place

that He had been keeping

for me all these years

all I could say was "thank You"

weeping joyful tears
