God Bless You

Sleeping in my bed
on the eve of my eighteenth year.
A circle of light came through my window
in my heart I felt unbridled fear.
"Relax my child
I bring you no harm
instead I carry light
which will make your coldest winter's warm."
I could have replied
"what might that be sir"
Instead I fell out of bed
saying "huh"
" God has watched you
and sent me to do his bidding"
I was shocked that God doing this all for me.
you must be kidding.
" I was the third grade teacher
who should you compassion.
I was boy who stopped that kid
from giving you a bashing.
I was your friend
who you called your little sister.
I was the child to
first call you mister.
I was the employer
who took a chance on you.
I was the D.J. who played your song
when you were feeling blue.
I was your tutor
who strengthened your mind.
I dropped that twenty dollar bill
it was meant for you to find.
I was that girl that winked at you
when you felt ugly.
I made sure you got the last good seats
to the concert you wanted to see"
"But why so much
why over me so much mess"
"Because my son,
you are one of God's blessed."
