Nothing's Changed
When i was little i was a comical character
For my older brothers
They loved to tease me
I was such a humour
If it wasn't my toes, it was the weekly fellowships
where every sunday i raised my hand up for the pastor to pray for me
I was born again every sunday
And it went on for awhile until i grew a little older...and realized
I was that special
Then falling off from the back of my dad's pickup
Was the most scariest thing the kid in me had ever experienced
I cried out "Abraham, Moses and Elijah save me"
I was never hurt
But my brothers were there again...to take it there...
Then a few years after i put my hand into a naked electrical wire......mistakenly
It was so bad that i had a scar on one of my fingers for years
I was stuck and i couldn't save myself
the most scariest experience of my life till this day
Thankfully my older brother rescued me
Then through life there have been many cases
Like my three week hospitalization where i thought i was going to die
The nights i never slept because my perception of hospitals was through the eyes of horror movies
Where at night, some evil person came and pushed some lethal stuff through your iv killing you instantly
Even after that there have been many hospital visits
Of loved ones, tough ones to tell
Nothing's changed because through a kid's eyes and now through an adult's eyes
I have seen the works of God
He is still the same from the days of my innocence till now
I've grown stronger through His works
