HAPPY

YOU MAY ASK ME
WHY I AM SO HAPPY TODAY
AFTER WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY,
AND THIS IS FROM MY HEART, MY SOUL
WHAT I HAVE TO SAY:
I HAVE JESUS IN MY HEART,
ASKED HIM IN WHEN I WAS FIVE.
LIVING IN A FAMILY WITH SO MUCH STRIFE.
SCREAMING AND HITTING AND
KILLING MY SOUL,
I'M NOT EXAGGERATING
WHEN I SAY THIS HAS BEEN MY LIFE
SINCE I WAS FIVE.
AND THAT'S WHEN I WAS SAVED.
I REMEMBER VERY VIVIDLY
THE SUNNY ARIZONA SUNDAY.
THE PASTOR CALLED
FOR AN ALTER CALL.
AND EVEN THOUGH
I WASN'T ALLOWED TO GO FORWARD,
JESUS KNEELED RIGHT DOWN
BY MY LITTLE SIDE
AND GENTLY PUT HIS HAND ON MY HEAD,
AND HE LOVINGLY CAME INTO
MY LITTLE BROKEN HEART.
AND EVEN THOUGH
I HAVE LEFT HIS SIDE
MORE TIMES THAN I WISH TO COUNT
(I CALL MYSELF
THE WOMAN AT THE WELL.)
JESUS HAS NEVER IN THESE MANY YEARS,
MORE THAN I WISH TO COUNT,
LEFT MY SIDE,
LEFT MY LIFE.
SO, YES,
TODAY,
THIS MOTHERS DAY,
I AM JOYFUL,
I AM AT PEACE,
I HAVE A SMILE ON MY FACE,
AND I AM HAPPY.
