Each day I read the words written below to encourage myself
God gave me an insatiable desire to learn and live
All the tools I need for life to me he did give
A brain filled with secrets, desires, I dance to a different beat
People often underestimate me for I know not the meaning of the word defeat
I harbor no ill will for my fellow man
Sometimes I simply can not do the things he can
Life is unpredictable with consequences and tests
I just do my best and let God handle the rest
Often I am breathless with anticipation each new day I’m blessed to see
Who and what I am is premeditated just a fraction of Gods plans for me
With Greed I reach for new experiences as boundaries I cross without fear
Some might say I’m to impulsive for my situation but I say step back this is my day, my season, and my year
I am not asking for forgiveness for I’ve done nothing wrong
Nothing to rectify because I dance to the tune of a different song
I live my life as if each day may be my last
Thankful to be me, happy, content, prayerful just having a blast
Love yourself but love the Lord first
Go after life with a spontaneous outburst
Whatever diagnosis mans doctors might give
Only Doctor Jesus can predict how long you will live

Jeremy thank you for the kind words. I'm sorry I overlooked placing your quote in the Author Notes. I also noticed I had 31 lines not 30. I have corrected both things. If I've missed something else please let me know. God Bless, Jo-Ann
