Dark woods (5)

Dearest Daddy

The wee girl whispered

I want to thank you

But how do I 

Thank a Daddy like you

When I cried

You were there

When I needed help

You gave it

You told me to wait

So I did

And you answered me

Lead me to this place

A place of light

Away from dark woods

You never left me

Yet you could have

But no you loved me always

In the dark woods

When I felt so lost

You loved me

When I was lost

In the dark times

I love you my Daddy

I will praise you my Daddy

For you gave me your map

And lead me out

Out to the peace

Out to the light once more

I love you my Daddy

When into my heart you whisper

When you hold my hand

I may be little Daddy

But my feelings are big

Yet you are bigger than them

I love your safe arms

That are a comfort to me

I’m going to sing

I’m going to dance

For you my Daddy

Because you saw me

You helped me

You were there for me

When I cried

I am small

But big I will become

Even when I’m big Daddy

I will dance and sing

For you are the one

Who deserves my praise

You are the one

Who made me feel loved

When I was alone

Darkness isn’t dark Daddy

When I’m with you

Because you are my Daddy

You gave light to me

I love you my Daddy

Forever and ever

I will sing and dance

For you

I think for all of us we can relate. We have all gone through those dark woods of life. What our reaction to those times will differ, but I hope that as you have read through these 5 poems that you may see the importance of praising God in the hard times as well. We all remember that we need to trust...though most of us find it hard to. For me praising was not something I had really thought about until lately.. When God my precious Savior brought it to my attention, through Bible readings, Family devotions and sermons. I have to say the Lord has His ways of bringing things across to us. Lets us show Him our love form Him by praising Him at all times.

May God bless you.
