Through the Eyes of a Once Troubled Teen

After the rapture,
a story of true love is told,
through the eyes of
a once troubled teen
who was, stuck in confusion and
the world's standard of young love.

Who has now been redeemed
by the blood of the Lamb
and has been watched by
the Savior's eye.
She has been saved and
finally free of her iniquity.

She no longer prays a
sinner's prayer, but rather
a Daughter's prayer for she knows
that she is now God's child.
Although she has felt
a father's betrayal,
she has a much deeper longing
and a higher calling.

Trying to decipher high school
as it truly is yet,
all the while doing His will.
Left with a crushed heart by
a secret/not so secret crush.
Running into His arms when she felt
enough was enough.

Having a conversation of sorts
with her Daddy,
she embraces Him automatically.
The real world just doesn't
make sense and yet,
so many people are dying in sin.
She sometimes wishes for things to
go the way she plans but,
when that doesn't happen,
she sometimes turns to depression.

She cries a child's cry as she
sits on her piano and sighs.
True love is in the Father.
His love will never fail.
The Cross was the bridge-way
into a life of eternity,
a place of royalty.

Her friends question her Spirituality.
They ask questions of immaturity.
Is there a God? they ask.
She wants to show
them the light but,
if she does,
she can never go
back to the only
place she calls home.

At times, she's had to
remind herself to let go and
let herself die to the
things of the past,
her "dearest love",
the boy she fantasized
about for hours at a time;
who was the best
thing she never had.

She sometimes remembers
that sweet little rebel,
the boy who inconspicuously
made her cry a "pianist's cry",
as she likes to call it.

She knows that the fire that's
within her cannot be withered
nor destroyed by the confinements
of this worldly nature.
