Because He Loves Us So Poem by Heather Plunkett

He loves us so
By: Heather Plunkett

I have stripes on my body
and I've been abused
ridiculed and hurt and bloody
living everyday knowing I was used
so I thought I had gone through so much
and thought I was alone
with no one to lean on as my crutch
not thinking I’d make it to this milestone
then one night while I was sleeping
I had a feeling,
I’d be seeing my gravestone
that feeling turned into a dream...

I was walking in a dark a place
and I was being lead by a voice
i heard the voice tell me
I know your pain
I’ve been hurt too
I seen the things you've been through
I have those stripes on my body also
mine are worse and they killed me
but I did it for you
'why' I asked and he simply said
because I loved you
I woke up in tears knowing who he was
and I go and tell of those tears that we shed
because he knows us more than we know
and he did it all because he loves us so
