More thoughts....

Father you are the reason for my waking each morn,

You are the hope in which my heart will rest,

I hang my head, reflecting on my past with scorn,

But you lift my chin up off my chest,

Erasing all stains from my slate,

Making it brand new,

You changed the outcome of my fate,

I owe all my thanks to You.

I have a lover who is always there,

Listening with open arms,

He is always just and always fair,

He protects me from all harm,

He will never leave me and never lie,

He is ever faithful and true,

I am the apple of his eye,

His bride and princess too.

He will never cheat or hold a grudge,

No secrets He keeps from me,

Slow to anger and merciful judge,

My lover has set me free.
