I Am

I am a girl with a painful past, a girl that has moved on.

I wonder about my life and what I’m to become.

I hear God’s voice bringing me from my pain.

And I see all the joyful times again.

I want to live my life as I’m intended to.

I am a girl with a painful past, a girl that has moved on.

I pretend I’ve not a care in the world.

I feel fair and precious as a pearl.

I touch the lives of all whom I know.

But, I worry for my mother’s health as I watch all her dreams unfold.

I cry for all my loved ones lost.

I am a girl with a painful past, a girl that has moved on.

I understand things of death and life.

I say the truths that I know to be right.

I dream of heaven and my God above.

I try to show the world His love.

I hope to succeed in all I do.

I am a girl with a painful past, a girl that has moved on.
