Your Name Is "Wonderful"


Your Name is “Wonderful”

Together we have stood
before the gates of hell
and dared them to open
before our fury.
Together we have faced
the demons of injustice
and challenged them to step
from darkness into light.
Together we have lived life
in defiance of memories
that would cause a weaker
person to shrivel inside.

Let none but Love
sit upon the throne
of your heart.
Let none but Trust
peruse the halls
of your inner self.
Let none but Hope
call your soul
home.

You are not a collection
of sad, unearthed memories.
You are the embodiment
of victory before unspeakable odds.
You have felt alone in your
battle to remain in the light.
You were never alone
in spirit as God Himself
stands within you.

Your name is “Wonderful” for
,just as your namesake faced the enemies of his quest,
so have you.
With love, trust, hope
stand again before the gates of hell
and dare them to open before your fury.
