SOMETIMES...

Sometimes,

We want things we do not need

We crave for the unnecessary

Ignore what is relevant

Take for granted what’s present

And long for what’s not ours

Making mistakes we can never erase.

Sometimes,

We hate ourselves

For not being the best

We think we can be

We sell ourselves short

Not believing in ourselves

Doubting our capabilities

We settle for less.

Sometimes,

 I wish we would accept

We can be anything we put our minds to

Sometimes,

 I wish I could save the world

Jesus did,

Yet he was not loved by all

So who am I? I ask myself.

But we can make a difference in someone’s life.

Sometimes,

I long for a person who will see more in life

Than only the worst

Someone who will see the world’s beauty

And make the best of it

Touching others with inspiration

Everywhere he or she goes.

Sometimes,

Like now

I wish the world was a wonderful place for all

But just like “sometimes”, uncertain are times

Only hope will see us through

But I say to you

Believe….  Hope… Pray…

Without these, you will be lost.
