Finding Myself...written for a friend

Where was I
I cannot say
I broke through the silence
and found a new way

Where was I
Hidden down deep
To frightened to breath the air
As I weeped

Who am I
I didn’t know
I sometimes forgotten
the many seeds that I’d sown

Who am I
I’m finding out now
A child loved by God
I could not understand how

Here I am
I have much to learn
Everyday a lesson
Time I can’t burn

Here I am
I don’t wait any longer
I lift my sorrows to God
Then I am stronger

Now is now
Not yesterday
Not folly immersed with worries
We will be ok

Now is now

 Sit still and feel free
Not what others want
I’m taking care of me

Here I am
I never left…..
