French Sonnet...

Forgiven Tears

Before I found you my Lord, I trusted no one

I went my way in daily life with not one thought

Took life for granted, I didn’t know what you taught

Your name not said, as a child I knew not your Son

Young Mother I found faith my teaching now begun

Through time my love began to grow, I read and sought

Proud I felt, giving foundation to my young tots

I saw them grow spiritually my deed was done

Now on my own He is with me always - My Lord

As my faith grows stronger during my later years

Trust is instilled in my heart where it is now stored

Turning to Him I now have calmed my lonesome fears

Devil thoughts cut away from my mind with His sword

God loves me; He wipes away my forgiven tears

- Rhoda Galgiani
