Analysis of You Saved me
Even in my wildest dreams I didn’t see myself here
What you did for me is so crystal clear.
I walked around strutting like I was slick
Digging a hole as big as a ditch.
You came along and saw my plight
Gave me energy to stand up and fight.
You had my back and I thought it was all me
You loosened my chains and set me free..
You held out your hand and I could see your strength
I knew by your touch that you were my friend.
I cried and prayed and prayed and cried
Through it all you stood by my side.
Wiping my tears, you could see past my dirt
Telling me how much I am worth.
Thank you Father for saving me.

About this poem
I wrote this poem right before my my 64th birthday and was overwhelmed with my story and how I was favored by God. At 30 I did not believe I would reach 50 yet hear I am still giving thanks
