What I Wish
I wish I could say
That all the doors I’ve walked through
Were opened by You.
I wish I could say
I haven’t beaten my head against so many walls
And kicked down the wrong gates while ignoring Your calls
Just to prove a point.
I wish I could say
That I have knowingly, willingly, and wholeheartedly
Chosen the path that You have placed before me
Instead of the easy path of resistance.
I wish I could say
That Your blinding Light,
And earth-shattering might;
That Your grace-filled showers
And unimaginable power;
Have guided my path along the way.
That’s what I wish
I could say.
But I can’t.

Howdy. I'm Matt. My wife, Christy, and I have four kids and two dogs, I'm passionate about orphan care. I'm a die-hard fan of the Evansville Aces, the Indiana Hoosiers, and Star Wars. I'm trying to live life by the Todd family motto: "It behooves us to live!"

This is the first poem that I’ve shared with anyone other than family in a long, LONG LONG time.
So please be gentle with the criticism.
