Boxes
I came across the poem online today and I really liked the message. I didn't write it, so you can comment all you want without fear. :)
I had to laugh at myself today
For thinking about how I had it made
And day after day just slips away
As if I’ve got it figured out
I’m so used to being comfortable
To life being uninterruptable
But that’s not what I’m about
I’m gonna live outside the box today
And capture everything around me
Thank the Lord for what surrounds me
Maybe I’ll just throw the box away
‘Cause it’s so much better out here anyway
I’m tired of my life being typical
Why should it have to be predictable?
Life can be irresistible
And that’s what I’m finding out
I’m seeing things from a different view
Closing my eyes and trusting You
‘Cause that’s what I’m all about
Thank You for the life You’ve given me
Thank You for the way
You make me free to be
Someone who can look at every day
Seeing all the beauty You have made
(Alli Rogers, “Boxes”)
