Gratitude Jacson A Bevens
*Gratitude
To the that broke my heart
I can’t thank you enough
I mean no sarcasm, no malicious intent
Just pure gratitude when I say
Thank you
Thank you for the time you gave me
For the way you made me feel
For pulling the lid off of the part of my heart
That hid my desire for lifetime devotion
Thank you for unleashing in me a passion
I had only caught glimpses of before
For the gentle words that melted my insides
And the encouragement that strengthened
My resolve
You made me believe that I was a lion
Staking claim to your heart
Your love became my jungle of which I was king
Thank you for your beauty
For giving me a to show off to everyone we saw
For giving me a reason to puff out my chest
As we walked hand in hand
Thank you for spirited compassion
And the intimacy that unleashed in me
Desires that I’d always repressed
Thank you
Thank you for breaking my heart
Thank you for taking all of that away
Thank you
Thank you for removing my footholds as I tried
To scale the mountain to your heart
Thank you for the love that you will not give
That you no longer offer my way
Thank you for the night you made me cry
Thank you for bringing me low
Thank you
Thank you for finally getting me
To a place where God could work in me
For humbling me when I could not humble myself
Your dismissal of my affection
Left me screaming
Alone in my room
Crying tears that left scalding hot
Trails down my cheeks
Thank you
For it is here that Christ calls me to be
It is here where I have no choice
But to offer to Him the crumbling remains
Of what I thought was so strong
Without Him I am nothing
And without you
I would be too far away
From realizing that
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
