Analysis of God's Child At Last

The second memory that I have
Was as a child of five,
I'm quite ashamed of what I did,
But was it to survive?
My life was filled with loneliness,
Frustration, anger and pain,
When this woodland creature frightened me
I struck and struck and struck again.
When I was finished he was no more,
I didn't even care,
My heart was filled with great relief
Which in my life was rare.
You see, at that time I'd not met God,
I thought that no one cared,
I spent my days in loneliness
And my thoughts were never shared.
Now, more than fifty years have passed,
But it seems just like a minute,
My life's no longer full of pain,
Because my God is in it.
