The Dance
As I think and reflect on what my life was,
I'm glad I overcame all that this life does.
This life we live is but a dance,
Dodging grief and unsteadiness with our bare hands.
We break and we cry, we fear most of all;
But with my Creator I know I'll never fall.
You see, my fear isn't always spiders and heights--
Sometimes it's my reflection when I look in the mirror at night.
It isn't always pleasant, and sometimes it's downright bad,
But I know somehow I can be just as glad
As I was as a child,
Because heaven knows, I made my reflection worth all the while.
You see, my fear isn't always bad food and crowded places--
Sometimes it's the insecurity that chases
Who I'm trying to become.
It isn't always easy, and sometimes I want to give up;
But I know for certain God wouldn't have that,
No--He would have me to stand up.
As I think and reflect on what my life was,
I'm glad I overcame all that this life does.
This life we live is but a dance,
Chasing who we want to be when we just can't.
We break and we cry, we fear nonetheless;
But with my Creator, I can stand up and dance.
