"Kisses From God"

They say each freckle is a kiss from God
If that's true, what happened to mine
As they seem to have disappeared over time. 
I had so many kisses as a child,
And I thought that upon me God had smiled.
But now I have so very few
And I can't help but wonder what this is due to.
Do You not love me the same, God?
Am I simply just too flawed?
Do You not love me as much now I am an adult?
Did somehow You I insult?
Did you take those kisses away?
Was that the price for my sins I had to pay?
But then I step into the sun,
Under the glorious light of Heaven
Into Your loving, saving grace
And Your kisses return to my face.
I suppose as I grew older
I moved away from you even further.
I stepped into the dark despair
And very little for You had I cared.
Then one by one those kisses disappeared
Since it wasn't You I any longer revered.
But when I move back closer to You
I find that Your kisses return too
And for this all I can say is 'Thank You'.
Thank You, God, for returning Your kisses to me,
And Your child and devoted servant I'll now forever be.
