A Love Found in God

  

During my lifetime, I've wandered many miles oftentimes without a pleasant thought ever coming to my mind, and in finding so much unhappiness along my life's pathway, I've been taught even what words cannot define.

There have been many times that I was sad when I thought that I was glad, but I didn't even know the difference for a while. And through the many tears that I've cried, and through the lonely heart that I once possessed - Still upon my face resides a very warm smile! When bad times came, confidence was quickly embraced, and I will admit that I'm extremely proud, that I've stood very tall irregardless to what I've ever faced ..

You see I've never learned to love with my heart, but through the good times - and through the bad times, I've come to know love and hate apart. When the color of my life was blue, and there was no light anywhere to be seen, I prevailed at this point of defeat by having unyielding faith, and by not knowing what giving up means.

I overcame my fears, simply because I had no other choice. The many things - that "Time" has helped me to learn, no human has ever learned to voice. Determined to acquire the spirit of love, I've gone far beyond all earthly ends. I have taken "Many Journeys" upon this life's intriguing streets - met many, many people - but have made very few friends!

I can now, however, see "brightness" beyond my life's once dark depths. And as I continue to "grow" day by day, I place tremendous value upon each of my life's new found steps.

Yes, there has been many times that I've grieved, but never forgot that my God is helping me to cope from very high above; and because I am created in His image and His divine being, He continues to share with me all of His gracious love.
