\"#AtoZChallenge<\/a><\/p>\n

I began writing poems when I was about 10 years old. I actually have kept copies of every one. This month I have also been participating (for the first time ever) in Camp NaNoWriMo. My project has been typing up my poems. I have been sharing some of them on my main blog, Life on Chickadee Lane<\/a>, including another “W” poem<\/a> today.<\/p>\n

This poem I wrote spring of my junior year, when our class went on our class campout. One evening several of us were sitting around the campfire, talking about the stars, the vast universe, and how God loved us infinitely more than we could imagine.<\/p>\n

What Wondrous Love<\/strong>
\nI\u2019m just a tiny speck, Lord,
\nIn Your eternal universe;
\nYou have an infinite space
\nAnd yet You care for me.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve given me a fantastic brain,
\nOne to retain\u2013forever;
\nThis brain which records for me
\nEvery sight, sound, taste and smell.<\/p>\n

You know my every thought\u2013
\nEven the number of my hairs;
\nWhy, You even knew me
\nBefore I was ever born!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m just a hopeless sinner,
\nNever doing a right thing,
\nI\u2019m only a lowly human,
\nWith a very carnal nature.<\/p>\n

Yet, Lord, You came to this earth
\nTo die a cruel death for me
\nOn a rugged cross on Calvary
\nFor all the sins of mankind.<\/p>\n

What wondrous love this is,
\nLove to die for a fallen world;
\nHow can we ever say thanks
\nFor such a wondrous sacrifice?<\/p>\n
