DAYBREAK

I’m created out of love.

Before I came into the earth

God’s angels somewhere up above

We’re singing in joyful mirth.

I’m 1 year old today

Wrapped up in my small paradise

The only music is whenever my mama say:

“You will grow up to be pretty, happy and wise!”

I’m 7 years old today

My classmates call me Trouble maker! Rebel! Spoiled brat!

But at night the little heart in me silently pray:

“Someday, the world won’t see me as someone I’m not..”

I’m 12 years old today

Both excited and afraid to start my first year in high school

Waves of changes come crashing my way

I’m carefree and bold to run, race, and rule

I’m 16 years old today

Now packing my bags and fearful hopes of tomorrow

Going to college and living alone miles away

taught me that for us to hold on, we need to let go

I’m 18 years old today

So amazing how fast those years vanished from my eyes

Writing this poem is my own simple way

Of saying “Thank you!” to the Big Man up in the skies

I’m 18 years old today

Longing to taste,see, hear, smell, feel, love, and live Life in every way

Silent miracles are seen in every sunshine’s ray

I’m 18 today

Nine more hours before my 19th birthday
