Existential

EXISTENTIAL

I was raised 
To count my blessings
And not what is missing
I was raised
With grace, compassion, and haste

I was raised
To serve
And not to be served

I was raised 
Having complete certainty
That life will always have 
Twist and turns and anxiety
But will make me strong and find faith

I was raised 
Believing faith will make me cry, and suffer 
But this faith will make me rise farther

I was raised
Trusting everyday is a struggle
It is not about being wealthy or famous
It is being real humble and capable
It is sharing ourselves and touching the lives of other people

I was raised 
By my father and my mother
And I thank them for who I am today
