Am

Am

I am the only one
Who knows my life, my shame, and my pain.
My hopes, my dreams, my love, my children, my friends,
My shortcomings, and even my very end.



I am the only one who will eventually know the answers I need.
I am the only one who can know what Jesus wants me to do.
I am the only one who sees my life confused & often
misunderstood,


And, even I have hurt others with my words and actions.
I am the one right, right now,
In this very glimmer of time that truly wants to know what to do.
