ONE OF MY VERY FAVORITE POEMS EVER!! Written by an old friend of mine-Jen Stinn :)
The Temple
If only I had known
That this shell of flesh and bone
Was meant to be a home-for you
Would I have chosen differently
If I knew all were meant to see
Your invisibleness in me-your child
On my body I bear the marks
Of decisions dreadful and dark
A wrong master from the start-have mercy
Can you see what I have done
The lies to which I've run
The world's thoughts, oh how I've clung-change me
Can you recreate in me
A fitting dwelling for a King
Am I a temple of royalty-use me
A sacred home I have become
Purchased by the blood of the Son
Built by the hands of One-God's temple
