Reaching Out
This is another short poem I wrote.
You never gave up on me.
Even when I had my back turned on you,
You reached out to me.
Even when I felt like my world was crumbling,
You reached out to me.
You kept trying.
When I went on with life, not a care in the world,
You reached out to me.
You cared for me.
When I felt lost,
You reached out to me.
You guided me.
When I felt I could trust no one,
You reached out to me.
You comforted me.
Eventually, I saw that hand.
Eventually, I grabbed onto that hand.
That hand pulled me up.
That hand steadied me.
That hand readied me.
I made a decision.
A decision to follow God.
Best decision ever.
Father, it may have taken time, but I trust you.
I want to grab your hand,
To grab it and never let go.
You never gave up on me.
Now, I won’t give up on you.
