A Thank You Letter To My Father

Hey God,
it's me.
Nobody special,
just me.

You know God, they say
that everyone is special
to you.
And I was wondering...
what did I do
to deserve a love like that?

I'm nobody special-
not much talent,
and I talk too much,
and I hate too easily,
and there's just so much wrong with me.

How Lord, how can You
love-really love-
someone like me-
nobody special
at all?

You never cease to amaze
me with all the wonderful things
you bless me with in life.
And even though I don't deserve
your love at all,
I'm thankful for it,
and each blessing it brings.

Because of this
undeserved love, Lord,
I will strive to
be, and live, and share
that love with others.

So thanks again,
for loving me despite
my flaws,
my faults,
my insecurities.

Through you I have
found my true beauty-
both inside,
and out,
and everywhere in
between.

Yours truly,
Paige
