God, I Never Doubted You

I really am not sure where to start;
As I write this poem to You.
But I hope to get my point across;
By the time that I am through.

I must admit, when I was little;
And growing up at home.
I questioned why You did what You did;
The times I felt so alone.

Even then, I would talk to You;
When I was curled up and afraid.
But I always knew that You were there;
And listened as I prayed.

When You took my sister and brother;
Home to be with You.
I didn't question Your motives then;
I stood fast and I remained true.

For sixteen years an abused wife I was;
But I never forgot You were there.
I always knew within my heart;
That You were watching me with care.

When I was left alone with my sons;
To try to raise them right.
I know that you were close to me;
By my side both day and night.

You've given me many obsticles;
And mountains for me to climb.
But I've always made it through them;
Just some took a little more time.

I have never doubted Your love for me;
Through any pain or strife.
Afterall, You gave to me;
Your love and Your sons life!
