Flawed
by Kathleen HighamI am a multi-flawed person
Dividing cells became me
A heart beating mindlessly
Eyes closed, unable to see
This was an uneventful miracle
Taking place so long ago
Remembering the growing process
And still, I did not know
That my God so adored me
A multi-flawed person for sure
When I had failed Him completely
He came, so I could endure
Wishing I had been faithful
At least unselfish for a day
Again, my God adored me
Not one word did He say
There is no condemnation
And my eyes are open now
Praying that I will please Him
If only I could somehow
He hears my quiet sorrows
When I whisper in the night
In my wretched condition
I am beautiful in His sight
I am a multi-flawed person
But, I thank Him for the choice
No matter how much I fail Him
He comes to the call of my voice.
