Thank You Lord

This a poem that I wrote in giving thanks to the LORD for staying right there with me, during times when I was ready to throw in the towel.

Just as I was about to quit

It struck me like fire

burning in a pit.

I started thinking

about how it use to be

and I began to pray "Lord

you saved me.

Reminiscing on the night

when I was in a terrible fight

I fought to be free

from all the pain

an misery.

Life for me back then

was like a steel pipe

that wouldn't bend.

I did a little bit of this

and a little bit of that.

But that still didn't ease

the pain.

From that point I

realized I had to be sane.

I am a woman with a name.

I am a woman with no shame.

I can proclaim out loud

I'm proud

to be that woman

who can stand out

in the crowd.
