"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.
