Today is a wondrous day!
God’s love is in the sunshine,
His spirit rides the wind,
His perfection is mirrored around me,
In the flowers, the clouds and the sky.
The burden of pain is always with me,
It’s part of my legacy here on earth.
But my soul feels blanketed at this moment,
with His healing strength and love,
His breath cleans away the pain,
which persists in clinging to my skin.
My past happened; I cannot change it,
My pain is real; I did not dream it.
I was a victim as a child; a victim as an adult.
The only blame that is my own,
is that I waited so long to reach for help.
I feel peaceful as I sit here,
as the warm sun soothes my soul,
And the breeze clears away some of the pain.
Though I continue to deal with my demons,
and lay the victim-me to rest,
The survivor-me emerges!
I’ve found the strength to accept His help,
God’s love has penetrated my soul,
The candle’s weak flame has taken hold!
