REALITY: MY EPIPHANY

Looking back on all the years
when I cried a river of tears

I begin to finally see that God
had a plan just for me

He did not want to hurt me
he did not want me to cry

But after all the hurt I faced
I see the shining light

My little boy came into this world
out of wedlock it caused turmoil

But my family and I finally see
eye to eye on many different things

I told them of my reasons why
I wanted to stay and not come home

I realize now that it was not
my choice but it was God’s alone

To see to it that I would finally see
the plan that he had in store for me

My son so beautiful in his Pop Pop’s arms
he fell in love the day we brought him home

My mother rejoiced and even sometimes
she worries more for him and that I do not mind

My brother and sister soon had families of their own
now comes my turn when I do not know

But for now I finally realize that God had a plan
And his plan is working out just fine
