Pride


my heart was so high as i looked all around
the thoughts in my mind
of comparisons that should never be made
i felt like i could do this all on my own
i felt like i was more qualified than anyone else
but my lessons weren't over
in fact, i would soon learn
that i needed them now more than ever
because i am as nothing
when i look around and
i see the stars and
feel the beating of a new little heart
miracles all around me and who am i
to think that i can do this
all by myself
only by God's mercy and strength
will i ever make a difference
for i am not qualified
except through His blessing
i must trust in His grace
and on myself no longer rely

  1. I came across your blog from bethanysbrightlife.blogspot.com, and I love it! The poetry is refreshing and the layout very clean! And your words resonate with my heart! Keep it going! (But it was very difficult for me to comment. The page kept reloading and moved the comment bar to the bottom of the page. I hope I'm commenting on the most recent post, like I intended. It may just be my slow computer, though.)

    1. Thank you for letting me know about that. I'm glad you liked my blog otherwise. I'm working to update my design and hopefully clean up the bugs. Thanks again!
