2001
i've been on a search lately
a journey a quest if you will
i've journeyed through the land of what ifs and maybes
what do i want to do with my life
will i finally allow my soul to heal
i have seen the door my heart has yet to open
and although i want to see the inside of that place
my mind is filled with insecurities and wonderings of what will happen then
so i guess i'm just not ready to enter that space
sometimes i sit and think about what this all means
but for whatever reason
my mind won't let me come up with anything
so all i can do is reflect on memories and experiences long gone
and realize that as much as i'd like to i can't right my wrongs
i can only move forward and leave the past behind
so again i take a look at the door my heart has yet to open
close my eyes shut them real tight
grasp the handle and slowly turn
as i get myself ready to embrace whatever life has in store for me
i suddenly understand it's all just been a lesson
i open the door and walk inside with my head held high
thanking God the whole way for all of His many blessings
and secure in the knowledge that God has a plan in store for me
i vow to do His will and keep reaching for my dreams
