[Unfiltered] Faith

At times I hid under the burden of drawn out days

Ready to plunge into slumber, 

there was nothing left of me.

At times I delighted in comparing my good ways

To the lack in my neighbor's deeds.

I was high and mighty, with nothing good in me.

At times I was ready to declare your goodness

Steadfast and faithful,

I was certain You were present and near.

At times I was just scared and felt alone,

There was no way that I could imagine You being by my side….

Let alone know that You were carrying me.

Still everyday,

You choose to love me, though I falter...

Still everyday,

I make the decision to praise Your name…

I realize that I am truly fortunate.

You deserve all the praise!

Dreaming past neverland...

I feel like a kid again,
my head begins to spin
As suddenly the joys of adulthood
become lost in the muffled arguments of my parents.

You can only walk around for so long
Acting as if nothing's wrong
And then you cave in...

When I muster up the strength to pray
My thoughts seem to stray
And I'm left with hopes for better days.
I stand back and wonder as I watch the Potter mold the shapeless clay,
having not one doubt that a masterpiece awaits.
