A Much Greater Purpose From What You Had Planned

(I wrote this for Rosa)

Finding yourself, finding what’s yours and learning to live without remorse 
can be the answer, can be what’s right, can be a difficult unending fight.

To find strength for the battle, to find peace for your rest, to find all the answers to the upcoming test
would take lots of courage and plenty of stress, will take all the secrets that you’ve kept dressed.

Just know in this answer; that you’ve been brave to find,
will give you a transfer and whole different mind.

You’ll look to your Father and he’ll look at you
He’ll give you a purpose that you can live to.

A much greater purpose from what you had planned
don’t you remember, the one you found in the sand?
But his came from above with a whole different feeling,
one filled with love and actual meaning.

Just let go of life and all of your screaming, 
let go of your past that no longer has meaning.

You’ll look to your father, he’ll have you dressed.
Indestructible armor, His most beautiful dress.
