POEM STARTER
Craft an ode to the trials of growing up.
An Ode is a lyrical poem celebrating or glorifying an aspect of life.
I’m Favored
I am favored.
It is only because of the grace of God
That is upon me so, when you see me
Don’t you dare get angry just thank
God on for me.
I am favored.
It is not that I have the audacity to
Even get up and dream; it is because
I have the One True Living God
Living and breathing inside of me
Taking my whole being because all
That I have is all His alone but,
Please look at me and see the grace
Of God within this beauty for if it
Was not for Him, I do not know
Where I would be but, once again
I am favored but, it is by the grace of
God only despite me going through
A lot and I couldn’t see clearly
The live of God was always upon me.
Where my childhood was broken but,
It was only God and me only.
Where he healed the most broken
Parts of me because he is closed
To the brokenhearted so, he was always
Close to me and he caused me to dare to love
And be me fully.
Where my authentic self is no longer under attack because by His grace no one can easily
Fool me to continue to be sorry for no
Reason or just because they do not like or love
Themselves truly.
I am favored enough to love the Lord fully
And live my life according His word
Even if I did not peep it myself for
In the beginning was the Word, the
Word was with God, the Word was God
So, it is only right for me to love God
Heavily and clearly for he truly sees
Me and hear but, it is only
Truly for who He is and the many names
Of him that I experienced by His grace alone
Which made me this beautiful woman
Of God capable of one day having a
Husband where we stomp out
Hell together and fill up Heaven.
I am favored.
Amen.
