Mary E-A. K. Remaniak Poetry

How long did I wait to tell You?
When I knew that You already knew?
Why was I afraid to ask for help?
When You were my only hope?

Why did I just try
And fight it on my own?
Why did I think
I was big enough to handle it?
I’m just a little kid.

I should have known I needed help....
I knew, but didn’t care.
I wanted to do it by myself
And not let others in.
My stubbornness made me lead a life of fear.
Never knowing where I would be next.

Finally Your light came through the dark
In form of family, faith and friends.
I saw my weaknesses as they really were
and that I needed to change.

So I cried out with all my heart
For Your forgiveness and Your grace.
And then You came, displaced the dark,
And lifted up my face.

I praise You, Lord, for You rescued me.
When I was blind, You made me see.
When I was deaf, You opened up my ears.
You saved and set me free.
