As I peek through the avenues of existence
and see that all life is precious...
I have truly gained a clear understanding
of life and how grateful I am to be alive!!!

Thankful
full of gratitude....
I have been shown mercy
and I breathe
I have awaken everyday for the past 22 years
and even though I haven't used all my time wisely...
I'M Here

Some roads I have walked on
have been to my own hurt
but thank God in heaven
that I learned from each experience
and I didn't have to have a brick fall on my head....
I woke UP!!!!
and saw the Light


The things I have been exposed to...
guess you can say I grew up real fast
And even though I am only 22
that doesn't define the journeys of my past

Maybe God just wanted to get all that negative
stuff out of my life early
and show me where I didn't wanna end up
I was thrusted into a world I barely knew
and I must admit,I was a little gullible
but maturity kicked in and
I got out...
I got off...
that highway of destruction QUICK


Thus I have gained wisdom
integrity
I am honest
full of sincerity
and most of all
LOVE rules me
GOD IS LOVE!!!!
He loves us...
He created us..

He taught me that
through it ALL He was there
He'll never leave you
Nor Forsake you...

And Father God....
That's good news to me!!
