Once
I believed I had it all figured out
That all the pieces would fall into place
Every risk would be a test
Of trust
Once
I loved despite the flaws
Overcame my pride
Set my ego aside
To trust
Once
I took on the world
Ignorant of the obstacles
Facing resistance with a smile
In trust
Once
I thought I would never change
I’d walk through the fire unscathed
Emerge from my shell and soar
With trust
Once
I understood what I had to be
Until the signs lost their meaning
In providence, my life I could no longer
entrust
