My Journey to God

Days like Mirrors

Some days are like mirrors
in which I see myself face to face
in the cold light of life’s pain
and make a choice
to live my life that day and stay myself
or run away, trying to be someone else,
denying who I am, one made carefully
by God’s hand, to his purpose.

I don’t always understand that purpose
on those days like mirrors when I cry,
but I’m learning to remember who I am
and lean on him, and try.
