Start of Something Exciting
You know when I was little, I used to write poems. Poems about my feelings, about things, about people. I can hardly remember exactly what I wrote now. I stopped when I was in my first years of secondary school. I think I should start again, because some things can only be summarised, expressed and represented in stanzas of sometimes, bombastic words.My mother tells me this is a gift, that not many people can compose poems. Me? I just find that it just comes naturally but still, I'm thankful. If it's a gift, and I think it's a gift from God, I hope that this gift can be used to brighten days and provide some form of enjoyment to me and to everyone else.
With this mindset, I start again with my first this year.
My Saving Grace
Like the birds in the air
You are everywhere
Like the trees of the forests
You are sturdy and strong
Like the streams that flow
You are persistent and bubbly
Like a torrent of rain
You drench me in Love
Like a torch in the dark
You light up my path
Like a compass when I'm lost
You show me the way
Like the sun after the rain
You brighten my days
Like the air that I breathe
You're all I need
My saving grace
Like the birds in the air
You are everywhere
Like the trees of the forests
You are sturdy and strong
Like the streams that flow
You are persistent and bubbly
Like a torrent of rain
You drench me in Love
Like a torch in the dark
You light up my path
Like a compass when I'm lost
You show me the way
Like the sun after the rain
You brighten my days
Like the air that I breathe
You're all I need
My saving grace
