Being captain of the ship that sails still...

I want to be all I can be and more, in each of my days;

Yet, I wish so strongly, to forget not my peace,

His Presence filling magic in silent star-lit nights.

The two faces of mine don't seem to match at all;

I know they're mere versions of me,

Why then search for any of them, why call?

Reading the uncertainty stemming from familiar faces,

I look knowingly, only to step away further, faster;

What is it about diversions making sure I'll last longer?

Smile- your time is close!

You could have done anything else with your life.

You'd have long been where you've always wanted to be.

Watching the others up on that high pedestal hurts.

But there is a reason why your goals are different.

Don't let envy bite you in the face.

Eat up your surprise.

Aren't they serving as great examples for you?

Ordinary people have gone on to glorify their names.

Soon, you will, too.

Feeling let down??

God wants ONLY the best for You and I.

There may be obstacles in the path.

They are mostly just to teach us right from wrong.

Have faith in Him, smile and keep going.

Running late? Will YOU make it??

It might be a normal day for anyone else.

But you know you haven't missed a beat.

You've lost your crowning glory by the edge of a nail.

It doesn't matter that it was a voluntary decision.

The moment hurts as it passes you by.

What are you going to do now??

Will you fret and lose your steam?

Or Will you get more charcoal to burn your fire brighter?
