Our stories are different
We travel different paths
You go toward the rainbow
While I plod a forest trail
You move through the storms
While rain leaves me feeling
Cold and alone, like I need to
Find shelter from the elements

Our stories are different
We seek a different world
You seek the light of sun and song
While I pursue a challenging thought
Melancholy assuring me that I have
All I need to reach my goals
Pass my tests and face my trials
With assurance that I abide
In the hope that colors my world
With hues of kindness and love

Our stories are different, yet
We both long for our dreams
To come to life on the end of a faith
That falls from our souls, reaching
Down toward our spirits and believing
Grace will call softly through the winds
Whispering inspiration and creativity
Singing songs of tenderness and gentleness
Breathing passion into every part of the heart
Growing a simplicity that beckons for light
Which captures the truth in its brilliance

Our stories are different, yet
We each long for the laughter and praise
That leads us toward joy that stays
Alive through the end of each day
Leaves us sure that we have what it takes
To sigh in silence… breathlessly
Dreams which heal every pain
And spark a twinkle in the eyes of those
Who know that this love living within us
Is a love that brings true serenity

Our stories are different
Yet they remain the same
Tales of convictions that crave
The light that smiles through the heart
Piercing the darkness with assurance
Forcing all the worries from the thoughts
And reminding us why we have it all
If we have the One who gave us life
And continues to abide on the inside

Our stories are tales of thanks to Him
Who created us and gave us the opportunity
To share in His grace and His love
With faith that believes beyond the prayer
And promise that warrants all our best
Because we can know that we have the chance
To reach out and paint our world 
In inspiration that comes from above
A wonder that comes from knowing the Son
Who was sent to us by a God who is LOVE
