Thank You For Others

God, I thank you for this life And I thank you for all of the strife, I thank you for all of my cuts and bruises And all the bad choices myself and other chooses. I thank you for the mistakes that I made And I thank for being there when I prayed, I thank you for all the tears that I had cried And I thank you for allowing me to remember the times I lied. I even thank you for the the times that I abused, And the many times that I was still confused, And the times that I deliberately took the wrong road I still remember the sadness and hurt that I sowed. I thank you for reminding me of when I used and cheated And the times others I knowingly and uncaringly mistreated, And the times that I did a loved one wrong Tearfully I still remember our song. Lord, I thank you for all that I had experienced And the beliefs and thoughts that I once stood against, Now when I look upon my children and sisters and brothers I now know that I can help them, and all others.
