Many of you know I have for sometime been going through some hard times...yes things are much better,but each day is a step to a new life. I have been doing some cleaning out and yes somethings are hard to find.Today while going through a box of Keepsakes I found a poem I had written many years ago. It really hit home for this time in my life and makes me wonder were things rocky even then???
Who am I?
As days go by it is hard to tell,who is this lady I thought I knew so well?
The world was hers and everything seemed so great,then she awoke was it too late?
Had she lived her life through the lives of others and forgot who she was and what she wanted in life?
All that ever mattered was to make others happy and in all this be happy herself.
But who is this person standing all alone? The others she has reached out to for so long seem to have moved on.
Do they even need her any more? Do they even know who she is themselves?
How can they when she doesn't even know herself?
It seems that the time has come to decide,who is this person that has died to be what everyone else needed,but her.
Can she find herself again and start all over on this new road that seems so lonely?
She is strong no matter what others say. She will find and do the things that she was made to do.
Who is this stranger? What will she become?
Who am I?

May you be just what God wants you to be....as I have learned myself,people will always fail us and let us down from time to time but,God never fails...he has great plans for you...my life too has been mostly a life of serving...but,really no regrets...I feel like I was where I was supposed to be at the time...it is strange to me ...to now have time for myself..I desire to use it wisely and am still praying and seeking for his perfect will...may he lead you as well..blessings dear Brenda.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful and poignant poem and yes, reading it it sounds like you were already questioning where your life was going. We do tend to lose ourselves when we're so busy making sure everyone else is happy. It can be quite the journey "rediscovering" ourselves!! Think of you often my friend. xoxo
