-within My Heart- Poem by Carolyn Ford Witt

-WITHIN MY HEART-

Within my heart, He lives each day
His love surrounds my life,
Because, as a child I was given 'The Word',
That cuts through like a knife.

Each whisper that I heard then
Came from a loving Father
Although I didn't know, back then,
That He was the Blessed Author.

I thought those words came from within my heart
So little I did know,
As gentle blessings He did give
And love He did bestow.

He gave each bit of knowledge
Each small compassion, He would start,
And gently fold me in His love
As He lived here in my Heart.

This gentleness so blessed
Compassion, that is so grand.
This love of God encompassed
As He holds me in His Hand.
