Today’s Poem: Letter

 

 

My dear Lord

I want to thank you today

Probably more than I can say

 

But I want to try

 

Thank you for all the love in my life

It’s wondrous

Inexpressibly pleasing

And in it alone, I have a home

 

Thank you for my husband

My best friend

I smile to think how you held me

In the midst of a shattered heart

As you whispered

Be patient, be still

And when I saw him

I saw your plan for me

I know I heard you say

See?

 

Thank you for my son

My bundle of perfection

How much charisma can he hold?

I’ve confirmed, it’s immeasurable

He is a tobbling, wobbling, masterpiece

I couldn’t have dreamt him up

I’ve a waterfall of emotions

Thanking you for his life

 

There is so much in my day

That I wish to say

Thank you for

My charming home

My warm shower

A snack, at any given hour

The breeze through my sheers

Even falling tears

For I know, pain has its purpose

 

Oh I’ve been in the trenches of sorrow

When I was not sure

I wanted tomorrow

Waking up in the wee hour

Reading Your word

As it spoke to me

To be still

For your will was being done

But with my racing thoughts

And monsters in my home

I wasn’t sure of anything

Except one thing

 

I knew You still loved me

My sins were all dismissed

And that lulled me to sleep

In calmness

 

And I praise You

For all this and more

 

I’m celebrating now

As I thank You, my Lord
