Growth and Movement

I don't think that you quite understand

this is definitely not the life I had planned

This road that I'm on took a scary left turn

and for some reason I got bruised and burned.

The dark hatred which lurks and lives in your heart

was not apparent and was masked from the start

I am at a fork in the road on this journey of mine

where I can stray toward you or stand firmly in line

I will admit that I have worked incredibly hard

forging through the obstacles even though scarred

My decisions have all been analyzed and corrected

and through the fire my life has grown respected

This story of my life is being recounted to many

and if filmed I believe could win a coveted emmy

 The life I live is not perfect or even quite close

but without human fault I could not honestly post.

The love that has been engraved on my heart

is now primed and ready for me to impart

I am on this earth and am prepared to run

and can give no credit except to the Son.

I need to let go of the past and run to the love

that holds my heart like a heavenly glove.

If you want you can ask about the joy in my eyes

and I will warmly smile and give you no lies.

I will be given chances to serve and to cherish

my passions are well balanced and will not perish

I believe we are called to love and not judge

and on my wants and needs I will no longer budge.
