Overcoming

But I was finally free

How could I doubt

His love for me

My will, his will or

His will

Why not three in one?

The threats of childhood

No longer hold me back

In fear, I no longer tread throughout

My days

I know I cannot lose this fight

Because my God

Is with me

Immanuel, my son, my future beloved

Twinkling in the eyes of

The young couple living on love

That every comic and skeptic

Scoffs at because they couldn’t

Do it right

They forgot God

Meanwhile, I have grown stronger and closer

To my God, even as I fall

I am learning to get up,

Look my Father in the eyes

Without fear and know that

I am still loved.
