Giving

If giving, what would make my life better than before?
Sharing the things that I have or that I don’t have?
Giving 100% of my time to others not myself?
Picking up the pieces that I wrongfully left behind?
If given the chance, go back and change them.
But, who is to say that it would be better or worse than before?
Only my mind and heart can make this decision, nothing else could or would
Through all this pain and suffering that remains on me, I was given a new day, and only
God knows how it’s going to be, because he gave it to me.

Grace

Grace is in me as well as you, by grace we will live again.
So many questions but no answers
But, by grace I need none to be answered.
Striving through this life grace holds me together.
No doubts in my mind, today is the day that grace saved me from myself.
I was headed for destruction, but one day I had nothing to lose.
I fell to my knees and asked for help.
I needed something to believe.  By God’s grace I found what I was looking for.
Time will tell where grace leads me.
