Rejection Into Self Acceptance

Fight back tears Certain fears Felt rejection Choose election Acceptance of self Use a book upon a shelf Look into why Let that little girl cry Stay in tune For what’s coming soon Is big change from within With the guidance and love from Him He knows my name And what I fear I hear His answers clear Thank you for this day Forever with Him is what I pray Thank you God for all You’ve done Got me through when I was young Now I’m in just today Holding Your hand One of many in the band

Good job! Ive been trying to write what I would call "reversal" poems as well, where they start in one direction and turn to another - usually from negative to positive, like this one. Modern day psalmists, eh? :-)
