Aug 2013
And like yesterday, here I am grown
Comparing my development with the rate at which time has flown
Thankful for each moment of pain and toil
Recalling the times I've been burned and ridiculously torn
Relishing the first hand experience I've gained with it all
For there was nothing as adventurous as that
For the times I beamed with excitement
When my eyes danced and laughed with my lips curled in smiles
When tears of joy raced on my standard-tracked cheeks
Or times when I just gaped in wonder, humbled by God's greatness
It's been Him all the way, leading, guiding and full of love,
Inspiring, encouraging and tenderly pushing me forward!
Words elude me, expressions fail me because He hasn't left me
I'm grateful because He's been my more than enough He
A wonderful happy birthday to me!!!
