I’m getting better

I was once a dictionary

But can’t define who I am.

I was once a fool

Trying to please everyone.

I was once a wind

But has no direction.

I was once a bagger

Bagging love and attention.

I was once bird

But kept in a cage.

I was once a slave

Then God gave me courage.

I was once a garden

Yet there’s no flowers around.

I was once a lost sheep

And yes by God’s grace I’m found.

I was once a star

But can’t shine in the darkness.

I was once an ecourager

But my own life was a mess.

My past is just

A part of who I am today.

Though I still commit mistakes

Yet I’m getting better everyday.

Now I’m more than anything else

Because Jesus gave me my identity.

I’m living with a purpose

And paving the path where I am meant to be.
