My Own Time

My time to heal 
my time to grow 
I am abundant 
this I know
  
I am a mighty force  
I have cried 
Yet I have laughed 
I have spoken
 
But I have listened 
I have harvested hope 
planted seeds sparingly 
I have moved mountains
 
while singing hymns
I have dance as, I have kneeled 
I have crawled, I have fallen 
I have triumph

I have led, I have followed  
I have whispered, I have screamed, 
I have awakened, I am me, this is my time 
My time seek, my time to find Me

There is no beating round the bush here, Yolanda! You say it as it is. You live life with all the highs and lows that it brings with it, while experiencing a mixture of emotions. ~ Regards // paul
