I Marvel

           I Marvel...

I marvel with the thoughts 

that He allowed  that I suffer ...

He allowed  that I be used

and abused and betrayed...

He allowed that I be abandoned 

and rejected...

He allowed that I be hurt

and be in so much pain...

He allowed that I be 

in hopelessness...

Though I weep deep 

I marvel with the thought 

that God allowed it all...

because He knows 

and He believes in me...

though I am just simply me...

Oh how  I marvel... 

He have faith in me...

He knows that I will rise up

to face and fight all my battles...

That no matter what the cruelties 

of life can be...

I will always stand and believe...
