I Was Made

 I will rise and climb

To fight the grime

I will fight the vast

Pervasive world

That would choose to strip me

End me

And make a pretender of me

I will walk in light

This day 

And every day

Because I have the power of One

In me 

How we feel like we can be quenched

Is a stench

That I resist

This ocean of peace

Like a river

Was meant to be

Pursued forever

Today I fight the enemy

Who is in direct opposition

Of my position

I was made for beauty

In my being

Display, convey, and holding space

I was made for hope and life

And it won’t stop there

This is my place

I was made with tender care

For tenderness of heart and soul

I was made to be a pair

Friendship, considerate, intimate

Never giving up

Depths unmatched

Lungs and heart

Coursing, pumping

To display a love like His

I was made with rest and grace

An ever present

You are welcome here

So you see

This you will need

To step up to the plate

Grip it head on

Forget all the wrongs

May you be

Caught up in the song

This is where I belong
