Little Diddie's / Poems

Thank You, Lord, for knowing me
As no one has before,
For all Your gifts, and even when
I sometimes ask for more.
Thank You, Lord, for standing by
Though times be good or bad,
For never throwing up to me,
The chances that I've had.

Thank You, Lord, for picking up
The pieces when they fall,
For always being near enough
To hear me when I call.
Thank You, Lord, for holding on
To me when I would go,
For finding deep within my soul,
The things that never show.

Thank You, Lord, for promises
You never fail to keep,
For counting every heartbeat
When I lay me down to sleep.
Thank You, Lord, for mercy
And for wisdom that You show,
For sometimes saying "Yes" to me,
... And sometimes saying "No".

Thank You, Lord, for patience
When I feel like giving up,
For adding honey to the dregs
I taste within my cup.
Thank You, Lord, for loving me
As no one ever can,
For wishing me an Angel,
But for seeing me ...a man.
