THIS IS MY STORY

Here is one of my poem/painting combos - This is my story, created at David's Tent last August, acrylic on canvas (24x30").
It's about being who I am made to be, about running in my own lane. 'Do you know the sound your heart makes just by beating, do you know the song your life makes just by breathing! A sound, a song that only you make!'

THIS IS MY STORY, THIS IS MY SONG
I am me, uniquely myself
What a spacious place!
Known, handcrafted
Unrestricted, nothing ill-fitting
Standing tall, living free

You shaped my DNA
Counted my days
And you whisper my name
My song, my voice, invited, important
That trusting this, embracing it honours my creator..
Knocks me sideways!

I respond to your generous, precious,
Intimate, intricate, merciful love
Step by step, breath by breath.
I am royalty!
My King's presence an invitation,
my home, my safe place, my eternity
My grateful heart cries 'Yes!'
