Ode to Him
You have guided me, through dark places
Brought me comfort in storms
Made sure that I was always able
Even when I was blinded by life’s norms
I don’t know when I realized that you have been my greatest teacher,
But I’m glad I figured it out
Because without you my dear Lord Jesus
I would not still be here without a doubt
Because as I have written before
“There once was a time that I swallowed pills to die”
And yet you saw my shortcomings as a chance to help me grow
