In Poetry form
On no one else will I depend
On no one else will my smile bend
My joy comes from within
And when my heart does break
It will also mend
It will not only mend
But grow stronger as it learns
That my peace is a part of me
Not a result of all I observe
No it’s not from my friends
My work or my sacrifice
But from who I am
And how I interpret this life
If it’s not from You,
take it away
Before it leads me astray
If it is from You,
give me peace
As I navigate this bumpy street
I don’t like endings
Saying goodbye
Or seeing people go
I must keep in mind that endings
Bring with them new beginnings
And goodbyes bring new hellos
No matter who
you have by your side
You need to find peace
with the person inside
And just like that
My perspective was shifted
And I finally could see
All before I could not
It just needed correcting
Some insight and truth
To show me the things
I thought I already knew
I took a step forward And there was no trail
Nothing to follow
No crumb, no sign, no sail
I took another step
Now in the wild
Surrounded by the unknown
Adventure lurking for miles
One step after another
Still unsure what next I’d find
When the unpaved road turned
Leaving all uncertainty behind
Enveloped in pastures of green
Learning in the wild and free
No path, no fear
Just my steps, my heart and me
I could not have made it through without YouI could not have learned what I needed to
You were there and You provided
That trial would be useful, You had already decided
You saw what I couldn’t and saw what needed to be changed
You made it happen so thanks to You
I am no longer the same
Isiah 48:10
See, I have refined you, though not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.
