Saved

You gave me life, my first breath taken was yours first. You loved me before I knew who I was. You watched over me while I slept, Letting peaceful dreams take me to a world not my own. You heard my cries, My sadness or pain, Terror or grief. I felt your hand on my shoulder. I heard your whispers to guide me. When I screamed in fear, You lit my torch in the dark, stood beside me, and helped me fight off my demons. When I shook in guilt, my knees skinned, hands clasped together, Crying because I knew that I'd done wrong, I felt your arms around me; Someone to hold me when I needed it most. I felt your grace fall on me. When I would cry in pain, My crimson blood staining the ground, I felt you clean my wounds. When I open my lips to sing, Eyes shining, Joy resounding, I hear you sing with me. When I dance like no one's watching, Silly and free, I hear your joyful laughter. I know You are there whenever I fall. You crawl with me when I cannot walk. You carry me when I cannot carry myself. You never give me tests I cannot pass. You catch me if I fall too hard. You do not look at the wrongs I have done, but instead see the light of faith inside me. You love me despite my imperfections, and you're always there when I need you. Thank you for saving me when I thought I'd surely drown. I love you.
