ReflectionA Poem by Matt Stewart
Just today I found myself beyond my own reflection;
What I saw before me was what hid beyond my own perception. A broken soul that was saved despite all the lies. A heart that was broken that always tends to put on a bright disguise. I’ve walked the road less followed, and was tempted into sin, But looking back on the choices I’ve made, I would do it all again. The Lord found me in my darkest hour Buried in all my sin; He raised me up from the loneliness to which I always hid. Some label me a victim; Some label me a liar; But when it comes to the truth, my standards are set higher. No one can tell where this road might lead, But I trust in God with all my heart. If one wants to find wisdom Praising the Lord for all he is is a good place to start. I’m no perfect soul, and would never claim to be But with God watching over me I feel my heart can be free. Free to discover the world around me; Free to love my sisters and brothers; Free to chase a dream that may not be seen by others; Free to be who I am without having to question why; Freedom to repent for the sins for which my savior died. If I could say one thing to all of those who may be lost Don’t give up on your dreams, no matter what the cost. A man’s life is not based on profit, Or the title he holds. The key has always been to trust your heart, Something worth more than silver and gold. © 2010 Matt Stewart |
