Crossing that border. Hope that we don't studder. Or ponder. What's the next step? The screech from a cracked window. And the memories flood again. Going to serve the poor. A piece of glass. The separation of life and death. He took it all. And He first loved me. With eyes of compassion He bore my cross and set my dry bones free. Gave me wings to fly. All the glory is for Him, who has healed all my scares. And helped me breathe again. Return to the dirt. Opened eyes. The light inside. Truly see them. The smiles and waves. The little hands and ***** faces. The pure hearts in a darkened place. Waking up to praise His name. Walking bold with our hearts a flame. We find peace in eyes of the old. Freckles and winkles. Little laughs and curios glances. Questions. Oh questions. The ruins and faded stains of graffiti, the crumbles of trash and the dust keeps you sneezing. The heat on your back, am I going to be fine? Trust in God. With all my heart. My soul. And mind. Moving forward. Can't turn back now. These wings are meant to fly. Preach with our mouth closed and sing with new hope. Heart begins to beat. One body. One stride. Let's be His hand and feet and keep our heads high.
