So I do beilieve Im rather proud of myself
Song of Myself aka The Long Ass Poem I had to Write
Introduction I celebrate myself and sing myself,
In me you will find no false illusions,
For I am centered in my Savior, whose word leads me in the truth.
His love for me is reflected in the love I have,
For family and friends, hopes and dreams.
To find music in the madness,
Bring peace to the chaos and calm the fears trying to take hold of my heart,
I slow down and breathe in the beauty of what God has created just for me.
There is a rhythm in my heart,
Keeping time with the waves of the ocean,
The swaying of the trees, the speed of the stream,
And the magic of the stars.
Faith is Moving Without Knowing
God’s grace has saved me from the dangers of this world,
Time and time again he has pulled me from the edge,
Always bringing me back to the safety of his embrace.
Guiding me in the light of his love,
He gives me strength,
To face the obstacles standing in my path,
To brave the storms of this life.
From Him I gain all I will ever need,
Knowledge to make the right decisions,
Faith to take chances,
And Love to conquer all.
I Would Be Nothing Without You
Tangible proof of the love of God,
Shines through in all of you,
Family and friends for all occasions,
Always there when I need you.
I love you more than you will ever know,
You bring out the best part of me,
And for that I will forever be grateful.
Teaching me to be a better person,
Holding my hand in the darkness,
You make me believe in all of my dreams.
My only hope now,
Is that one day I,
Can inspire someone,
Can affect someone,
Can mean as much to someone,
As you do to me.
Breathe in the Beauty
Always running trying to keep up with the world,
Not enough hours in the day.
Too many people to impress,
I cannot make them all happy,
What if I let them down?
I spread myself too thin,
Thinking I can do it all,
Only to crash and burn when the time is up.
I press pause,
Take a step back,
And it all seems so far away.
My troubles no longer relevant and nothing is holding me down,
I feel it all just fade away, in its place this personal sanctuary,
Here time slows down, and life is put into perspective.
There is music in the madness,
Beautiful and soft,
Assuring me that there is no need to worry and rush,
Calming my fears and silencing my doubts,
Giving me the comforting knowledge that the Lord holds my future,
And he will never let me fall.
The Rhythm of My Heart Sitting in the sand I let the waves wash over me,
Repeating and constant,
Never faltering nor fading,
A steady rhythm keeping time with my heart,
A song of safety, comfort, and calm assurance.
Whistling through the surrounding trees,
The wind whips my hair around,
And brings a chill to my skin that seeps into my bones,
A dissonance rustling the grassy fields in which I stand,
Always changing, never knowing the next move,
A song of uncertainty and indecision.
The cold water of the stream rushes over my feet,
Quickly running down its path,
Eager to reach its destination,
Easily overcoming any obstacles in its way,
Always sure and never doubting,
The course laid out long ago,
A song of determination, passion, and dedication.
I look to the sky on a clear night,
The stars shining brightly in the black obsidian,
Like tiny orbs of hope, iridescent in a sea of darkness,
Scattered amongst the heavens,
Melodiously singing of wishes and wonder,
A song of beauty, dreams, and magic.
Each song plays inside of me,
Races through my veins,
Keeping rhythm with my heart.
I chose this mood just for the gif it matches :)
