Father God,
For giving me more than my share,
For allowing me to go my own way,
For letting me be my own person,
Thank you.
Yet in independence,
when my world has chaos all around,
when I have made bad choices
and have nothing and no one to turn to,
Even when others ask why you do,
Thank you for waiting for me.
Even when I think I know best,
And lose myself, thank you for finding me.
Thank you, that though I feel far from home,
You are never distant,
Though I close off and focus on other things,
You are always open and unconditional in your embrace.
Though I am 'prodigal',
you are,
unyieldingly,
love.
