19/F/South Africa A breathing question mark.
water Your hands turned to wine brighter than the sun, in darkness You shine the raging sea in Your presence is still to my heart You brought peace and tranquil father turned his back to me but for me, Father You were nailed to a tree sight You gave to him who could not see though science says it cannot be at Your word the dead are given life in my darkest days You give me light father made himself dead to me But for me, Father You died so I am free You gave the ability of motion to a man without forgive me for the days when I seem to doubt You put food on dusty tables and empty plates if at dawn they starved, at dusk they ate father never came back to me, though I forgave But for me, Father You rose from the grave

FATHER TO THE FATHERLESS
"Stop trying to fit your feet in a pair of shoes that I have not designed for you to wear. Your feet will only end up bruised and broken." So I listened this time. I removed the shoes. He wept at the sight of my bleeding feet. He felt my pain. He knew my pain. The concept of walking barefoot terrified me. My feet needed healing and I knew the path I was taking would not always be smooth. The story of Two Footprints in the Sand? Well, it's true. I witnessed it first-hand He carried me to the next stop. He gave my feet the time they needed to heal. He handed me a new pair of shoes. Comfortable shoes. Shoes He had designed specifically for me to wear. They were beautiful. Like nothing I had ever seen. "Trust me", He whispered in my hear. "Stop trying to fit your feet in a pair of shoes that He has not designed for you to wear. Your feet will only end up bruised and broken." Remove them. Be Patient. YOUR shoes will come.

IF THE SHOE DOES NOT FIT...
"i don't like this type of music." "Why not?" "because my friend, X doesn't like it." "i'm not really into that colour." "Why not?" "because my friend, Y isn't into it." "yeah, this isn't my kind of scene." "Why not?" "because it's not my friend, Z's kind of scene." "So what do you like?" "whatever you want me to like." "Who are you?" "whoever you need me to be." "And who do you want to be?" "?"

WHO ARE THEY?
I was fine I was not fine I was good I was not good Satan stirred the *** and I ate from it Food that nourished my body Yet poisoned my soul It was dying

A DYING SOUL
"Excuse me officer, could you help me find my soul?" "She went out last night and didn't come back home."     We got into an argument before she left.     She felt in my body she could no longer rest.     So long I denied her the light she desired.     She grew weak and hungry, she was tired. "Excuse me officer, could you help me find my soul?" "She went out last night and didn't come back home."
