A little girl's world is a mystery,
Of who she is and what she'll be.
Surrounded with teddy bears and little girl thrills,
You had them all wrapped up in your will.
There's been so many changes in my life each day,
And I've learned so much about you, every step of the way.
You always know the right things to say,
To make me think your way.
You always know the right things to do,
To make me want to follow you.
You seem to know when I'm hurting the most and really need you more,
That's when you spend the time with me, like you never did before.
I put so much of me in what pleases thee,
In hopes that someday I would be what others see in me.
Make me only what you want me to be,
So that the world will see you shine through me.
Make me so much like you, that there's nothing left of me,
Then when others look my way, you are all they see.

Good without being cliched
You well know I'm not a religious kind of person, but this speaks to me, it holds that particular quality. Poetic without being terribly cliched like so many. Well written.

Beautiful!
This so reminds me of the scripture about becoming silver: a silversmith forges the metal in fire, polishes and fires it some more. How does he know when its ready? When He can see Himself in it. We are the silver, "Tried by Fire, Forged in the Word." This is a beautiful write. ~~Bonnie Q -
WE are but piles of clay, molded each day
Changing for good or the bad
But even when wrong, learning the song
Seeking the peace when are mad
Growing each day, in a new way
As our final shape now starts to form
Until we are through, life's all need to do
And the old will be gone, we're reborn
Hugs...Eddy
