A Lesson in Humility

Last time I asked for helped and I know now you heard my cries
That day I looked in the mirror and saw such desolation in my eyes

Not long after came a gift from the heavens up above
A gift that I would treasure; it was the miracle of love

You sent me the same gift that you once sent a saintly one
Just like you gave to Mary you gave me my one and only son

How could you give to me what you gave to one so pure
I’ve been a sinner and beggar; I have been nothing like her

I’ve lied, and I have cheated, I’ve been a lush and a *****
I gave up all the good you gave me and still I wanted more

I wanted more than what I had and still I failed to see
That I was running from the person that you meant for me to be

I hid away all my demons and locked my closet door
I reveled at this miracle and realized I had found more

Even with such happiness I just couldn’t understand
Why the demons kept on knocking and the devil reaching for my hand

Until one day God took my soul before the devil had the chance
God told me that this was the last time the devil and I would dance

He cleansed my soul with holy water then sent me back to here
The humility still lingers but now it is God I fear

I will take my precious miracle and point him in God’s way
Together we will follow in his footsteps until our dying day

It is now I understand what this miracle is for
To take my soul from the devil and place it at God’s door

You must always face your demons and fight back for all it’s worth
So that you can be forgiven and serve your purpose on this earth

For you can keep sinning then just praying and hoping
That when it comes your time, those Heaven doors will open

Or you can sit at those heaven doors knowing you did your best
You always chose the righteous way when God put you to the test

Although I may not be a saint and I was once a *****
One day my son and I will walk humbly through Heaven’s door

Thanks for posting. And yes, children are a blessing.

And any child needs a sober parent, and I pray you are one.

Good stuff.
