I may be losing my short term memory
This feels unreasonable
I do protest, this cannot be!
I do remember my childhood quite well
Past memories pop through my mind in spells
Unfortunately, I did not read The Bible then
Truthfully, I was too busy partaking sin
Deep within my heart I knew
Jesus loves me
Foolishly I relied upon myself to pull me through
Then came the day
The pain hit my brain
Opening my mind, at last
I asked for forgiveness
He changed my ways
Now I follow Him
Day to day
Traumas from my past days
Have made my short term memory
Prematurely slip away
Times of sorrow tend to step in
I cannot remember any scripture
I am sure I know
I have decided my new defense
Will be to pray
Prayer brings peace, assurance
It's okay
In my heart and in my soul
Is all the love that Jesus needs me to know
He wants me to keep
Reading my Bible everyday
Even though I do not remember the words
In my heart His Spirit stays
In actuality this is an advantage for me
Each time I read The words
They open my mind to visions
My memory sparks it may have heard
My heart knows it is not the very
First reading of the line
Still the joy is fresh each and every time
I will continue to pray
As Father God opens my eyes
To the realization my handicap
Is joyously helping me find my way
