You Are Who You Are

We have some degree of freedom,
So be free from the world’s captivity 
Together, we’ll reach for His Kingdom
Do not worry, sadness is temporary

Corruption will disappear soon enough
I know the road to paradise is oh so far away
Don’t lose hope yet – good luck, love
The sheet of clouds will remain a lonely gray

You are the seed that made me a flower
You are beautiful in every wakening hour
Send your enemies your peace and adoration – serve! 
Send your family the comfort and riches they deserve 

Do not let go of the truth, the Lord’s faithful one 
Someday, you will earn your place like His son
Wipe away the pain and sorrow from your eyes
He is a forgiving Father that discards the lies

Merciful and compassionate is His Spirit from within
No more uncertainty or fear will lead you astray in sin
You are the loyal sheep that remained near His side no doubt
What a relief God has granted me from day in and day out

There’s a healing process happening at this moment
Stay true to yourself by believing inwardly this instant
You and I gain precious strength on a spiritual level
Honestly, you are and always will be my guardian angel

You are who you are and I respect you for that
You have a hidden scar that you swept under the mat
We could just talk it out or leave it in His right hand
Darling of the Most High, know that…I understand…
No need to explain – 
I understand that you are the sand of the sea

We have some degree of reconciliation,
So thank the Lord for being in this tribulation 
Together, we’ll be in the blissful afterlife 
Happiness is near, so do not fret of past strife
No need to say sorry – 
Healing is near and you are who you are

A very fine tribute to the universe, sir! I interpret this personally with a slight twist--I take Him to be the forces of nature. But the way you think and compose is absolutely lovely. You do have passion and goodness. Your poems provide a subtle insight into your mind and being for people taking the trouble to look. CIAO!
