just a poem

I am definately not a poet!  Although, sometimes it seems that is the best way to express my thoughts.  I don't usually let other people read the poems I write (infact most people don't even know that I write them from time to time), but this one I wanted to share...

The person that I want to be

I lay awake and wonder
what kind of life I live
am I the person that I want to be
do I share and do I give

do I listen with my heart
or do I listen with one ear
am I the person that I want to be
or do I hide myself in fear

I want to share I want to give
and listen with my heart
can I be the person that I want to be
if I just do my part

If  I obey the lords commandments
and pray with faith each day
can I be the person that I want to be
by following his way


can I be a better mother
and teach with love and care
can I be the person that I want to be
all my burdens can I bear

Through him I can be better
my burdens I can bear
I'll be the person that I want to be
because his life he shared

He came to earth and lived
his life so perfectly
I'll be the person that I want to be
because he died for me

My mistakes can be made right
if I repent and try my best
I'll be the person that I want to be
he already fixed my mess

Although I cannot see him
I know that he is there
I can be the person that I want to be
through him that truly cares

I love this little boy, but sometimes wonder if he spends a little too much time with me instead of Trevor...

Ready for church? I don't think so!
