I want to be
I want to be a voice for those that have no voice.
I want to be that beacon of hope to those whose hope has been crushed.
I want to tell the child who has no mother or father that he/she is not alone.
I want to be the hope that I have been called out to be.
I stand for those that have been abused, neglected, mistreated.
I stand for the brokenhearted.
Let me be that ray of hope, that beacon of light.
May my life reflect truth and light.
May I always see myself small, when I stand before the ocean.
May my steps be guided in everything I do.
So that I may not falter and fall,
And if I were to utter hurtful words,
Or cause harm,
That I may be forgiven and shown mercy,
For I am far from perfect.
That I shall always strive to be pure of heart,
Being kind and giving.
That it shall not be about me,
But about those I shall touch,
May I be the very reflection of love and kindness,
And may I never be used as a stumbling rock to someone else.
May my life be a reflection of truth and integrity,
May I be merciful and kind,
For great mercy has been bestowed upon me.
I want to be a voice for those that have no voice.
I want to be that beacon of hope to those whose hope has been crushed.
I want to tell the child who has no mother or father that he/she is not alone.
I want to be the hope that I have been called out to be.
Oh, let me be.
Oh, let me be.
