Soon.

My expectations have failed me in the best ways I could ever impossibly imagine. A dream I've dreamed to experience it in ways that never previously existed. Finding happiness in the smallest things I never desired in the first place. I found an open chair in a life I never spoke of before. Silently I took a seat without hesitation. I was unaware of a future that would hold everything I ever needed. To look up and gain knowledge. To look ahead and shyly smile.

It became a well-known word; repeated perfectly. I begged Him at night to find me, to lead me, to love me. A shield found its way in front of my heart. A thankful plea found its way above me. To find a place where I belong; that's all I asked. The word He gave me, the hope He filled inside of me--it pleased me. The room He put me in, the chair He sat me in, the table He placed me at--He wanted me exactly where He put me. Chained to my place with a smile pasted on my face. I wanted to be trained to fight, I wanted to take the task.
How could He find me worth it? How could He think I could do it? But must I question Him? I lay in bed at night only to be in a completely different place.

Here is my genesis. A beautiful puzzle forming into a picture. Pieces falling together in ways I could have never imagined. My imperfections creating perfection. All of who I am in exactly the right place on earth. If there's one thing that keeps me going, one word that soothes me, it's soon.

Everybody falls sometimes
Gotta find the strength to rise
From the ashes and make a new beginning
Anyone can feel the ache
You think it’s more than you can take
But you are stronger, stronger than you know
Don’t you give up now
The sun will soon be shining
You gotta face the clouds
To find the silver lining

I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
And I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do

It doesn’t matter what you’ve heard
Impossible is not a word
It’s just a reason for someone not to try
Everybody’s scared to death
When they decide to take that step
Out on the water
It’ll be alright
Life is so much more
Than what your eyes are seeing
You will find your way
If you keep believing

I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
And I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do

Overcome the odds
You don't have a chance
(That’s what faith can do)
When the world says you can’t
It’ll tell you that you can!
