is in my pocket
and in my heart,
always has been since the start.
why did I run?
why did I hide?
from what has always been inside.
I always looked at the earthly things,
even when they didn’t suit me.
I tried to squeeze myself into a spot
where I wasn’t supposed to be-
trying to blend in
where no one could see,
but something special was looming in me.
Over time, the light inside
became too bright to try to hide.
Now every day I praise and sing
the glory and blessings bestowed upon me.
Each day more I forget my name,
and I embrace the Jesus in me:
walking in the light,
doing what’s right,
and being as kind as can be.
