i looked up at the big, big starry sky
one simple silent night
underneath a canopy of glitter
i breathed a prayer.
a simple silent prayer
that was meant for the only One
i gazed in awe at the bright moon
one constant, shining moon
and this sensation of awe crept upon me
i thought about it.
if i, a mere mortal, could be loved by a everlasting Creator
what chances and amazing things could happen if i would choose them
instead of dwelling on the past
to focus on the future
to believe in myself
instead of having a negative attitude
to know that only small minds talk about people
to see the silver lining in each overbearing cloud
instead of downing myself for everyone else
to choose to be happy when things go wrong
to enjoy my life, whatever may happen
instead of living in a fear of what others may think
to know that i wasn't created to be average
to believe that i am a daughter of the one true King.
