'valued Grace'
I did not know where I would end up
This journey has been one of self-discovery
One of self-love
A journey where the obstacles
That seemed insurmountable
Became stepping stones
I prayed for things I didn't need
Only to discover they weren't meant for me
I get to appreciate the little things
Instead of waiting on the big things to happen
Today I value having family
Many don't have that privilege
I value a hug from a friend
Many wish for it all their lives
I value the smile from a stranger
I value a child that screams my name
Just to say “hello”
My journey is not finish yet
But I value all it’s been
Hurt, fear, worry
It's all part of life
I thank God for the opportunity to still feel
I value the grace bestowed
Everyday
