GOD’S PLAN

Poem

You have a plan
I was born into an average family a working dad and a stay at home mom,
They both followed you.

You have a plan
At age 5 my neighbor altered that plan. He only thought of himself,
HIS EVIL NEEDS.
Shhh….Came the words, something bad will happen to your parents
IF YOU TELL.

You have a plan

Now I am confused, Who is this person I am reading about that speaks of
love, trust, submission? Follow me, I can't see you not touch you.
Yet at the same time I am pulled into the garage, taken underneath porches,
being trained to fear. My neighbor stands in front of me,
I will show you the way.

You have a plan
My mom and dad notice the changes in me so desperate they cry for help
LORD HELP US!

You have a plan
I was so far gone with lies, drugs, alcohol, men. Someone please take care of me.
SOMEONE......
At the same time my mothers health is deteriorating.
Did my secret get out?
I DID THIS TO MY MOTHER!

You have a plan
I got married.
I thought I could start out new; happiness, a house, children, friends.
The haunting memories keep coming back.
My moms disease is getting worse.
I need to keep the lies to myself. WILL THIS HELP HER?

You have a plan
Three men walked in the restaurant I worked at.
They told me about you.
This was the time I heard you. This is the beginning of understanding Your plan.

You have a plan
You showed me how you were always there, using people and places to show me the way
I realized I looked at you through evil eyes.
My heart and soul
have been longing for your plan.

You have a plan
Now I know, Love the unlovable
See beyond the surface,
Forgive the unforgiveable

Now.....I have your plan

Peace
