Poem
I thought I was dreaming, I tried to run, to run so far away. I doubted, and never believed That it was me being called. Being called for this task so noble, The task, so hard and sweet, Challenging and changing lives, mine and others forever. The call, I heard it so clear, So loud like a megaphone, It echoed in my ears, I pretended not to hear, But still I could not run away. I had to stop glance and glare, Looked at it, and shied away. The task never disappeared, it stayed, I gathered myself, With all my weakness and strength, I leaned on God, And I said, “ Here I am”, Use me, my weakness and strength, I believe my weakness plus Your might It’s possible Now I am astonished, I seek how and where to serve, You have brought unexpected zeal, I pray God, you give me Wisdom as well. Because zeal without wisdom is dangerous. The call has challenged me. Opened my eyes, to be part of your work, An agent for change, A person of impact, A human of significance. Don’t live me behind, You gave me a chance, Allow me answer the call, Hold me up not to fall. I know there are challenges, I know there are disappointments, I know there are turbulences. But, there is a clear destiny, The end so clear, The end so awesome. Help me not to give up. I don’t want to live, just to live, For I know, I will fade away, at some point, Let me burn out for You, Answering the call, The change, the cell to transform, The call of impact and change The call of growth and development. Let me dream high, Because you are limitless, and everlasting. Let me pin up and put up this life, For a life of change and changing others, I pledge my allegiance to you. Iam answering the call, Saying YES, YES, and YES I know you have given me life, Education, influence, and presence. I have them, but for what Lord? Direct me on how to use it, Help me answer the call. I don’t want to be challenged And not changed. Change me too. Help me redeem time, Time, so that I will answer the CALL. Fulfill the promise For purpose of my life. © Mwebasa Edson 2013.
