Existed

#20

You showed me more

than I knew existed.

You showed me less

so I wouldn’t get twisted.

I wanted heaven, but chose hell.

It soured my vision until I could tell

no longer the Truth from everyday fact.

And I value the day and the hour You knew

that I would lay aside all but You.

And it took a simple and deliberate act

for me to see heaven—not in place or pleasure—

but rather in being simply, surely, Your treasure.
