His Saving Grace
By Candice Landis ©2013
I've been through hell and back some might say
Yet here I am standing strong before you today
I was born into violence and verbal abuse
For years I faced the horrors of sexual misuse
A little girl of just eight years old
Her eyes full of horrors as yet untold
She cries silent tears
Each day faces unspeakable fears
The years pass slowly by
One by one her tears slowly dry
She does what she must to get by
She no longer has any tears left to cry
Married at 17 with a child of her own on the way
She didn't have a choice,in an abusive home she could no longer stay
She vows her babies will know her love every hour of every day
At age 37 her marriage has gone sour
Into her babies she's put all of her power
Now her babies are all grown up and moved away
Leaving her to face an empty life every day
Looking back she prays she did enough
She prays her girls will never have to face any of this stuff
She prays to the Lord and asks for His Love
She prays for forgiveness and to know true love,
These are the things she's always dreamed of
I was filled with such wonder and joy that day
When my heart came Home to God to stay
He is my life guide,
He has always held me close by His side as together we battled the angry tide
Heavenly Father I come to you renewed
Words flowing from my pen for you
With the power of Your love
All my pain and suffering I rise above
The tears I cry cleanse my soul
As You take me back to times long ago
I remember Father and now I can clearly see
All of the times You carried me
Your seeds of Love Heavenly Father I promise to sew
No matter where I go
Who ever I meet I shall ask them if You they know
And together in Your light, our spirits will grow
