Today I choose to open prison doors
Breaking the chains of an unchangeable past
Goodbye to what was and never can be
Swatting off my heart pesky, hateful regrets
Building wisdom from nightmarish mistakes
Closing doors on shallow relationships
Awakening from dull, unfulfilling dreams
*****
Today I choose to live purposefully
Focusing on the present not yesteryear
Christ’s eternity my future’s compass
Always authenticity, transparency
Saturating all my words and actions
Trusting God to take the ashes of my life
And form a heart of breathtaking beauty
Be a VOICE shouting into the wilderness.
“CHRIST is returning!”
