Rhythm of Love

As I stand here 
Alone and unafraid 
I think to my self 
Exactly how much You care for me 

Life comes and goes 
Ins and outs 
Ups and downs 
There will always be battles we face 

But there is one thing 
That keeps me steady 
Through the good and bad times 
One thing that will never let me go 

The rhythm of Love 
slow and steady 
firm but gentle 
beautiful to my ears 

The rhythm of Love 
carries me through 
never lets me go 
always by my side 

The rhythm of Love 
does not hate 
will not scorn 
is never selfish 

People may leave you 
Things may hurt you 
Places may disappear 
But Love, Love will stay 

God move me in time, 
In time to the rhythm of Love 
I want to stay steady, in tune 
to Your rhythm of Love

My Last First Day

Tomorrow marks the day 
that starts my last year. 
So whatever comes my way, 
God, help me get through it! 

Its time for new things. 
College applications, ACT scores, 
Graduation caps, class rings. 
And don't forget the senior prank! 

But some things have yet to change. 
Friends, drama, memories. 
Prom, homework, acting strange! 
I'll never forget the good or the bad. 

I'll do the best I can, 
and never ever give up! 
I look at how far I ran, 
Yet I've got just a bit more. 

I am torn. 
Half of me wants to be done. 
I am tired and worn. 
I want to move on. 

The other half is excited! 
I'm a senior! The best year of all! 
A fire has been ignited 
and I'm ready to go out with a bang! 

But, I know there's a reason 
God has me here for one more year. 
Maybe I'm not through with this season 
Of learning, growing, in Him. 

But anyway, 
I guess in this poem, 
All I wanted to say, 
is "Yay for seniors of 2010!" 

I Am Me

I am Me. Nobody else.
Don't tell me who I am.
Don't tell me what I've been through.
Don't tell me what I feel.

I am Me. My own person.
I like what I like.
I love what I love.
I hate what I hate.

I am Me. Me, myself and I.
Quirky.
Perky.
Concealed.

I am Me. Take me as I am.
With my choices.
With my beliefs.
With my faults.

I am Me. God created me.
My smile.
My laugh.
My tears.

I am Me. Jesus loves me.
When I fall. 
When I obey.
When I forget.

I am Me. 
And that's who I'm meant to be.

I Want to Be That Girl

I want to be the girl that he thinks, "There's something special about her".

I want to be the girl that he likes but doesn't really know why.

I want to be the girl that when I smile, his heart melts.

I want to be the girl that when I laugh, he does too just because.

I want to be the girl that when I sing, his heart plays the melody.

I want to be the girl that when I dance, he wants to sweep me up in his arms and say "I love you"

I want to be the girl that he is not ashamed to hold hands with.

I want to be the girl that when he looks in my eyes, he falls in love with me all over again.

I want to be the girl that when we kiss, he can't help but smile.

I want to be the girl that when he looks at me, he can see Jesus Christ
