Note to Self

He is going to test you
He is going to test you and push you
and challenge you to new limits inside of yourself
You are going to want to give up and give in
but His plan is better than that
He works better than that
And you have to keep going
Even when you don't know the direction
Even when the road look untraveled upon
Even when there no lights to map the roadway
Just keep going
There is something waiting at the end of this
And all this mess is a part of your becoming
Those trials prove there is gold
Gold all around
Gold you just can't see yet
but baby it's gonna be so clear one day soon
So clear
So clear

That Day

i remember our highs in hues,
like the color of his eyes
as the sun was setting;
the pale of his hands in mine,
and the blue of his smile.

i remember our sorrows in shades,
like the grey of the shadows,
which loomed that day,
and the white in his lie
when he promised to stay.
