Throughout my adult years there have been times when I longed to be this faithful. This poem has truly been a compass for me, helping me always know where I wanted to be. When I wasn't there, I was able to recognize it. With everything I have been through this year, I truly feel like my faith has been strengthened. I feel like I am this person now, moreso than ever before.
I Found the Way
There I was
In my home above
With my loving Father
As pure as a dove
He was sending me off
Into the world to learn
He said, "You are my daughter,
May you know which way to turn"
I was born
On a sunny afternoon
I came into this world
A little too soon
In the fall
A September month
I came to a family
Ready to love
They told me as I grew
There are things I'd never do
I'd never walk or ride a bike,
I'd never tie my shoe
As I got older
I proved them wrong,
Because I grew
So spiritually strong
I learned of my Father up above
And His endless love,
I learned He held me in His arms
And they protect me from all harm
He could move a mountain
And even calm the sea,
He created the world I live in
He created You and Me
In this life
We all have things to do,
He'll be right here coaching
Helping us get through
I may not be able to ride a bike
Or maybe even run,
But there is a special path I hike
That leads me to the One
With my Father here to guide me
And faith that I'll return,
He has made the promise
I am never on my own
With my faith, will I come to Him someday?
Being His daughter can I say,
My Father, I love you,
I found my way!"

This is amazing and beautiful. You are an inspiration to so many.
Wow Melody, you are amazing. I finally figured out how to log back into this thing :) and I just read all of your most recent blogs. You truly inspire me. I'm glad that we are neighbors and friends :)
I think you should call this inspiration corner or something. You are quite the booster upper! That is a great poem.
