Blessed by You

When I was just a little girl, with my hair up in a bow
I was too young to understand, far too young to know
Why my mother wasn't there, why dad was always gone
Why my brother liked little girls, walls covered with pictures drawn.
I blamed myself for why they left, why they were never there
Why every night I watched alone staring into air.
One day there were other kids, next day they left too
I didn't know why they were scared, if I had only knew
I used to play all day in the tree of our backyard
Then at night I would hide and see the sky brightly starred
Secretly I would smile and wish upon the stars
Now I look at myself my arms riddled with scars
I don't know how time seems to fly when the years go by
I never dreamed when I wished I wished that I could die
I want to go back to the place where this all began
That I had stopped myself from starting such a plan
I did I tried to take my life on that fateful day
But it didn't work very much to my dismay
I saw a face in the black when I closed my eyes
I saw something there with me to my surprise
It was so clear yet so soft a hand placed on my face
Then it left just like that gone without a trace
Next thing I knew I woke up feeling just like new
Little did I know I was blessed by You
