A Very Personal Lesson

Gratitude

In all my human weakness

Within my mortal view

Flaws and imperfection

Were all I saw in you.

I placed myself above you

So sure I mattered more;

I felt such selfish pride

I chose not to ignore.

Then God gave me a vision

And suddenly I saw

In my foolish stupor

I was the one so flawed.

So quietly you’d loved me

And I just couldn’t see.

God knew that I would need you;

You were His gift to me.
