Faith In He

I try to change
For the better
For my own faith
but i find
That I have trouble

To change my ways
That hurt myself
To have faith in those
That seem impossible

Not to hold a grudge
For taking from me
Those I love
To that place i cannot see

Took from me
To fly above
To watch me every day
Is someone
A woman
An angel in every way

They tell me
Those who remain
That I am like her in every way
My Aunt
The saint

I feel though
That her identity
Overlaps mine
For though we share many things
I am my own person

But i wish upon a star
That i got the chance to really know her
Than perhaps
It may be
That I wont mind being like she

But for her
And myself
I try to trust
'He'.... the lord
For her
And surprisingly
Just a bit
For me....
