Becoming

BECOMING

A snowflake fell out of the sky,

Like a wish on a shooting star.

A phenomenal priest's prophecy—

It was none other than me.

Raised by joyful voices and expectant hearts, 

I grew gradually and relished every moment. 

I was given all I needed but courage,

And when it was time to lead, my fears took the lead. 

Unto whom much is given,

A whole lot more is expected.

With the world bearing upon my shoulders,

My knees gave way to kiss the floor.

I sustained my restrain and did a lot of nothing. 

Then I looked in a mirror and spoke with my reflection;

The only thing that held me back was me…

Then I set me free like waves at sea.

I chose to find faith rather than feed my fears.

Now I found ways to grow through baby steps,

And though I stagger, I still soar on eagle wings,

Piercing each day with a dagger of success and wins.
