I’ve been thinking a lot lately Why did you create , mould and shape me As you did Why I never fit in As a kid Why these talents Why these flaws Why this fear of perception Why I get stuck on pause. And often I question What calls me to inhibit Or rather inhibits me Prevents me from expressing What you meant as quality. And it seems now disrespectful That I spent those years resentful That I couldn’t just be the same Wallowed in self pity and shame. And all the while You waited And around me You painted Every item Every story Every situation pointing to your glory And I saw I was in awe Of your artful creativity And never once thought It would be better left to me When I dwell on humaness There is a thought I can’t dismiss Gracefully you look on this And mercifully use my brokenness. Some parts of me Id wished to hide You did not prune , discipline or chide But helped me come to abide Myself - the work of your hands. Helen Swierszcz #cultureofpoetry #christian #poetry
