Approval of the Father

I wonder what He thinks of me
When He gazes over my life
If He thinks I am exactly
     who He created me to be,
Or if He shakes His head in disappointment.
Does He wish I were different
Led to accomplish different things?
Does He approve of my actions
Relish in the thoughts I choose to have
Even though I am fallen, far
     from the person who I chose to be...

Yet in love He has forgiven all of me

So, I wonder what is left to see

There, in the chasms of my mind

In the warring of my actions

Hidden in the heart I claim--

I hope He sees Himself and smiles 

     at the person I am on the path to be.
