Blessed I Am Poem by Kristin Nicole RothDavis

I stumbled through this life with my eyes tightly shut,
I find you and for the first time I saw beauty.
Your hand gripped mine and pulled me out of this dark rut,
Missions employed us, our endless full time duty.

In the darkness of my past, you showed me true love,
Your heart filled with universal love healed me.
In deafness I collapsed on both knees, seek above,
I loudly heard the beat of your heart set me free.

Death resigned from relinquishing my soul that night,
While I inhale I take you in and there's new life.
Together this battle of health gives me new sight,
Faith, love and direction, I will become your wife.

Blessed I am, for I have it all within reach,
United we'll be soon, barefoot on Maine's lovely beach.
