there is wonder and grace
tangled in your curls,
and the night stars have
made your eyes their dwelling place.
and your heart is a garden
with blooming flowers of
joy and beauty, bringing
life and light to the darkness.
hope and heaven live
in your bones,
and in your soul a
songbird sings a melody
of love.

who are you?
you are the loveliest flower,
the brightest star.
you are a reflection of heaven,
you are a sky on fire.
you are the magic that hides in sunsets,
the glory that lives in sunrises,
you are the beauty that rises from the ashes,
you are brokenness made whole.
you are the lyrics to a melody of hope,
you are fearless,
you are brave,
you are free,
you are who
you are meant to be.

stars don't compare to the
constellations of light
inside you,
and all the gold in the world
isn't worth as much as you are.
and the sun, darling,
the sun can't shine brighter than you.
you are sunlight,
you are beams of light and hope
you are bright and beautiful.

with every sunrise and
with every sunset You tell me
that they were made just for me
You tell me that i am not here by mistake
You tell me that my life matters
You tell me that You gave me a brave spirit
You tell me that You put fire in my bones
and a light in my eyes and a beat in my heart
and with every sunrise
and every sunset You tell me
that i am loved.

as i walk through this desert,
through this valley of shadow of death,
i'm keeping my head up,
i'm smiling through the bitterness
because i know this won't last forever
because one day i'll look back
from the mountaintop.

bravery does not
scream, it does not shout, yet
it's louder than all

You left an imprint on my heart
and wrote in it
with indelible love
a letter of forgiveness
a song,
paragraphs of hope
and sonnets of grace
