God Gave Me

God gave me words
to speak out against my injustice
like child abuse


God gave me determination
so I could white out fears easily
as I create them

on paper they shine
but god gave me
also
the ability to love
when my son cries: "Daddy" for two hours
straight on and
there's my mom but
she's not around
so I think like
God and what he
can still give me

I mean all the years as a child are
long gone, no?

So I think God could still give me
love, the everlasting, I think
the unconditional brand
the only one around
which God really meant for me.
