Confidence

My face in the mirror reveals the years that have past.

Change upon change

I am learning to live my best.

Cultivating hope, keeping dreams alive,

Looking at reality as friend and not a foe,

joyfully I am learning to thrive.

However, interesting as it may be,

I also have discovered that although I am here and doing well, this world is really not mine to forever dwell.

I am just a foreigner on a flashing journey.

Soon I will grow wings and leave the planet behind. Nothing with me I will take, except for the love I shared and the light I dared to shine.

As life puts my faith to test, I choose to believe. Time is passing fast indeed.

But from sunrise to sunset, I put my trust in the one who really knows who I am, seeing me from fears to hope.

Assured that he awaits for me to come home,

His loving hands I will forever hold.
