Almost a sonnet

Born in darkness, you exposed me to light

I was blinded and you helped me to see

For what I believe, you taught me to fight

I was ashamed, you gave me dignity

Tired, and dirty, taken from the ditch

My soul was broken and you mended it

I was oh so poor and you made me rich

Having no hope, you taught me not to quit

Weak in spirit, you built up my soul's grit

I was alone, you gave me company

Being out of place, you helped me to fit

You gave me power to no longer flee

Instead of bad humor, you taught me wit

Lost, now found, you love me for who I'll be

SO beautiful and uplifting Soren. You may have written this about a special woman, but I had the feeling that you may have written this about our Lord and Savior. That is what I choose to believe at any rate. ~Sharon
