You are a precious jewel

Only a select few get to know the real you

Heart fortified by walls of pain

In life there is only love to gain

Refrain from those who may cause major disdain

Entertain the positive aspects that God has afforded you

Allow the transparency of life to reveal the release of strife

In a Christian’s life there is only glory to the Father

No longer are we promoting ourselves

To allow our confidence to swell

It’s the vision of Him seen in our daily walk

You are a precious jewel

He formed you to be the ultimate piece to influence many

Talents galore to share with more

Shut of you tend to be not allowing anyone in

Extend your lifestyle to encompass the views around you

He has placed certain ones around you to minister to you

Enliven your life by taken in the details of the day

Emblazoned your road will be once you reach the Bema seat

As one of His most precious jewels

Upon His crown you will be placed

As you stand face to face

With the grace that placed you on earth

To be the best friend ever to me

Now share the blessings that dwells deep inside

Outshine the goals you had once before

That led to some unfortunate compromise

Rise again daily to meet the new experience

It will surely sweep you off of your feet

TEARING UP

I’m clearly in my feelings again

Blood feels like its boiling

Heat rising from the tips of my toes to the crown of my head

Why do I allow such small things bother me

The little irritations that have been placed in my day to test me

I completely fail every time

Humbling me to the utmost extent

I know these experiences are heavenly sent

My citizenship has been sealed

I know HE allows him to rattle me

To see where I am spiritually

Am I walking in what I speak to others

Perhaps I’m holding my true emotions inside

Testimonies are meant to be shared and made relevant

I’m honored to be tested

Not to be court jested

Ignorance no longer digested

Pure holiness ingested

From the past I’ve been divested

Insistent on making a difference

Allowing His ministering presence

To envelope my circumstances

Relieving me of my burdens

No longer uncertain

Confident in the praise I present

As you pass by and notice my smile

It’s my joy overflowing from inside

STILL FIGHTING

I’ve grown so much over the years

I’ve learned so much about me and He

Yet I’m still fighting

I still see many things my way and not His

He just wants to use me

But I keep standing in the way

I’m not pretty enough

I’m not skinny enough

My mouth is the vessel

In which He wants to speak

It’s the basis of reality

What I see through my bleak pane of glass

Shines brilliantly from His perspective

My hands need to testify

Some years ago I laid my journal down

Now His gift has grown out of the kernel I reduced it to

This dream has not died

I’m alive at 35

The rest of my life I refuse to compromise

Eager to rise to see the next sun ton shine

Follow this golden butterfly

For this path will lead you to a surprise

A light that no man can put out

And with two fingers

My shame has bowed out

Now on this one I got to shout

beautifleye ’12 

THE LOOK

You don’t look at me like you look at her

But you say I’m the ONE

How come you smile so wide

When you stare longingly at her

But you say I’m your bride to be

Not even close so it seems to be

I don’t understand how you’re my number one fan

When you stare at her like she is in high demand

I see with my expectations set so low

All I have to do is pray to get over this insurmountable blow

My light is shining through

The grace of God has enveloped me completely

Of course you won’t look at us the same

I’ve shed my shame and walk in newness

My aura sets off a flame that is unquenchable

He’s preparing the right man for me

While He’s rebuilding me

Excitement in my soul as I chase after Thee

He won’t be able to seek me

Until He accepts Thee

My pain has been released

There is nothing wrong with me

My worldly shades have been discarded

My Lord has loved me wholeheartedly
