As I ride the World’s Roller Coaster,
Each day offers different emotions.
One day I am “King of the Hill”,
The next I find myself at the “Bottom of the Barrel”,
Often I feel like I am “The Man in the Middle”.
But when each day’s ride is over,
I make time to talk with my Father,
And His words bring me comfort.
I find my true identity
In the truth of His words.
I am a Child of the King,
But His Kingdom is not of this world.

Favored.
Clothed with Grace.
Stand firm in His Armor.
His child, His bride, His warrior.
No fear.

Little blossom of white,
growing so free,
soon a red berry you’ll be.
I hope we meet again–then.
Ah, strawberry so wild,
I loved you as a child,
and still do.

Old sayings and proverbs
were what my parents often used
to teach a lesson or make a point.
As a child, I would not be amused,
to hear them speak
with wisdom and wit that was against my will.
Yet now, I the same wisdom I do seek
as a parent relating to my child.
I find myself now repeating
the proverbs and sayings of old,
hoping to convey the message
just as I was told.
