HE MENDED ME

There have been times back in the past
I thought my life would never last,
I fought for every breath, and it did seem
I’d never make it to my teens.
Often in the night I couldn’t sleep
Into the future I would seek.
To see what life might hold for me
Was it to be a life of misery?
I was filled with overwhelming fear
So I asked God, to draw ever near.
I asked Him please, if He didn’t cure
To make my days easier to endure.
The answer came through daily prayer
He showed me He was always there.
In time His answer came, you see
He put His breath inside of me.
He’s a loving Father, who hears each plea
He heard, He loved, He mended me.
