Dear me, (you)
Could it be, that just yesterday you were a baby
waiting to be held
waiting to be coddled
waiting for a bottle
But, held only for a moment and not enough to last a lifetime
Could it be, that just yesterday you learned to crawl
you learned to stand
you learned to walk
you learned to run
But, only to run when no one can see you
Could it be, that just yesterday you learned you have a voice
you have words to speak
you have words to write
you have words to pass on into history
But, only words that you write and speak anonymously
Could it be, that just yesterday you learned to love
that you are loved unconditionally
that you can forgive those you love
that love is the answer to everything
But, that not everyone knows what love means and that will always break your heart
Could it be, that just yesterday you learned that you have opportunities others don't
you can vote
you can work without concern
you can pray everywhere you go
But, you will always have to work harder than some and not as much others depending on the circumstance
Could it be that just yesterday you learned to have faith
a faith not based on emotions that are fleeting but that is sustained on truth that cannot be defeated
a faith that empowers the intellect but is also guided by compassion the heart and mind together fashioned
a faith that has shaped you and broken you time and time again to make you new when it seemed to be the end
Was it just yesterday when you realized that you will never be perfect like your heavenly father is perfect and that you cannot save anyone but you can help people along
Because this person that you are right now, reading this aloud
that is who God created you to be
to witness and be strong when others think you are wrong
But most importantly to love above all
