she lives her life in light
glancing at the darkness behind her
if she never shares where she’s been
they’ll never know where she’s come from
what God’s brought her through
living can be as simple as sharing
sharing can be as simple as living
boldness comes through the piercing of the heart
with the love of heaven striking through
love
not sex
but love
God is love
love is God
how long had she been confused?
years and years
tormenting her body
her heart
her mind
but one moment in time
changed the course she was on
and slowly but surely
it developed
a relationship with Him
living in Him
for Him
to Him
HE’s the one who wooed her to church
HE’s the one who listened to her prayers
it was HIM who led her to AA
through the steps
clearing the way for HIM
to enter in entirely
and all along the way
as she made mistakes
He waited lovingly with arms opened wide
embracing her as she returned
loving her deeply through it all
why?
why did God put up with her? she wondered
and in gentle moments He explained
“I know what the ending looks like” He said
“who you are isn’t who you’ll be”
THAT keeps Him patient
THAT keeps Him constant
THAT keeps her holding on
for what she’ll truly be
