Bended Knee Poem by Carolyn Ford Witt

- BENDED KNEE-
by Miss Caroline

So long ago, I came to You
Arms opened wide and let me in.
So young I was, so immature,
Not knowing then what would begin.

Back then, I thought I knew it all,
How could I have been so vain?
But as I grew and learned from life
That courage began to wane.

Each new episode You taught me,
I held so close at heart
And traveled a journey so steadfast,
Feeling we would never part.

I held so close beside You
Temptations, there were, galore
Swimming those rivers of sadness
To safely reach Your shore.

Now as the years are mounting
And that vail is growing thin
I can see what's waiting for me
And I can see where I have been.

Lord, with Your gracious blessing
I know You've brought me here
To pass the greatest test of all
And put away my fear.

For soon the time is coming
When Your sweet face I will see
And there within Your presense
I will be on Bended Knee........
