Beautiful Life

God decided in Heaven one day-

that you should be born in a wonderful way.

He chose your parents- their elements right-

to create a special 'You'. What a beautiful sight.

There's no one on earth exactly like you-

a miracle of life in all that you do.

Sometimes we lose sight of the beauty we have.

We don't see any good- only the bad.

We start out our lives with the world in our hands,

but, as we grow older, forget what's been planned.

We feel lost and confused- unloved and alone

and sometimes our hearts feel hardened- like stone.

We almost get blinded by our saddened thoughts-

'till we no longer see what we've really got.

We get numb to the love of our family and friends-

we can't see the hope, the future- just the end.

These words said to you in the hope you'll achieve-

fall upon ears that no longer believe-

that YOU are so special- a star in the night-

who shines in His glory, your own special light.

You feel so unworthy, but you don't know why

and you search for the answers which just makes you cry.

Sometimes you need someone to help sort it out-

someone who will listen- to whom you can shout:

"I feel disconnected, sad and unsure.

I just don't know what to do anymore.

I know deep inside that there's got to be hope,

but right now I just feel at the end of my rope."

"Help me find the answers. Help me find my way.

Plant my feet on the road of happiness today.

Help me learn how to deal with feeling so lost-

that there's no price for love- there isn't a cost."

And though you feel frightened, scared and alone-

it's just like you've called your friend God on the phone.

He'll lean into your ear and He'll whisper these words-

forever in truth- the most wonderful heard:

"You need to believe that you're worth more than this-

and I'll help you climb out of your dark abyss.

With time and with love you will figure it out-

and I'll always be there, loving you- have no doubt."

"The love of your family and friends just for you-

will mean so much more when you know I am True.

But, first you must learn how to love who you are.

Believe as I do- you're a bright, shining star."
