It’s Okay

I’m just here to remind myself…

Of something I find myself..

Saying everyday. 

That no matter what life throws at me,

Blows or long jabs..I 

Know that everything’s ok.

Nothing of what I have belongs to me..

The money, house, jewelry..

I give it all, 

Knowing with nothing…I still have something

That no one can take from me.

I can give endless love and,

Not lean so hard on the shoulder shrugs or..

Indecisiveness, the selfish acts of..

Preservation or…entitlement…

That’s what I’ve been called to do..

And I’m fine with it. 

Because even though you won’t or can’t…

I can..and I will..

Give everything I have..everyday

Because…it’s ok.

Take pieces of me with you.

Remember me forever..

Do me wrong, curse my name 

I’ll wish you well on your endeavors. 

Take my last dollar, the shirt off of my back

Take away all of my prized possessions..

If you see it, you can have…

Take the shortcuts, 

Take the easy route…

Have it your way.

Because I still know, it’s okay.

I’m not alone.

I have what I need.

I could be by myself in a room..

Knowing God is right next to me.

And I know he sees me..

Fighting temptation

Giving pieces of me away

Like there’s nothing worth saving.

And I still come out brand new.

Rinsed and cleansed…

Everything I gave to the world

Wasn’t mine to give. 

And the moments I felt empty 

Waiting for reciprocation of some sort..

I realized it’s okay…

It was never mine before it was yours.

I can fail, I can stumble,

I can make tons of mistakes. 

I’ve been saved, I believe. 

So I know that it’s okay.

It’s not for lack of caring,

Or feeling blessed with what I have

I just know there are more important things

To focus on than that.

So just know, as I walk 

Read and continue to pray.

I’ll give you all everything I have. 

And I know…I’ll still be okay.
