God's Gift To Me

                                             God's gift to me,
                                         Is hard to understand.
                                            Does he even see,
                                       I don't deserve his plan.
                                  
                                    Ive fallen short of perfect,
                                     Ive strayed from his love.
                                        I ask him "Why this?"
                                    And he says, "Just Because".
                                     
                                       It's hard for me to see,
                                        Why it's this way.
                                   Why he chose to use me,
                                   A person who can stray.

                                  You see he saved my life,
                                    Not only once, but twice.
                                     Through his only son,
                              And three years ago, tonight.

                                         God's gift to me,
                                     Is the life I have today.
                                      To live for him only,
                                  Because it's his gift to stay.

I wrote this poem on the three year anniversary of a serious accident and God was reminding me how great it was to be alive.
