All Right

I could be saved

I could last for eternity

But I'm alright

I want to be saved for eternity

But I think I'm alright

All I have to do is loose my need to impress

And completely confess

That Im not all right

Im broken up inside

Waging civil war on myself

Im weak on my own

But could lift the ocean in your hands

All I have to do is confess Im not all right

Loose  my need to impress

Broken up inside

Waging civil war on myself

Im saved

For eternity

Moving on to lift oceans and move mountains

Simply because Im not all right

Such words, seemingly at first, a struggle, but then at fulling reading, victorious. You have an understanding beyond many who are twice, three times, your age. You have expressed a truth so many who do struggle need to know. I am so proud of you grand daughter!

oh yes Valerie, "when I am weak I am strong." That's what you are saying isn't it. Because in our weakness "we lead not upon our own understanding." This opens our hearts and minds to our Heavenly Father, The Creator, The Power, The Glory who is our strength, our fortress, our redeemer. And, I understand the struggle that goes on and on and on within ourselves. Your wisdom is truly beyond your age but you are not an age you are a soul that has been existence in the heart of God forever and will forever remain eternally. Your poetic skills are gifts and you my sweet great niece are a gift to all who have the privilege of knowing you. God Bless you.
Love,
Aunt Kahky
