' I Never Knew' Poem by robert john bayoneta

I never knew life until it was taken,
i never knew love until it was broken.
I never knew time until it was fading,
i never knew pain until it was given.

I never knew smiling until i said sorry,
i never knew having until i was empty.
I never knew compassion until i needed help,
i never knew living until i need faith.

I never knew myself until i found the creator,
i never knew my fate until i need a Savior.
I never knew tomorrows until i cling to Him,
i never knew my gifts until He make me sing.
