Who would of thought I would make it?
Who would think that something this good would happen to me?
Who out there would conceive me ending up like this?
...right here
...right now
...in such comfort, luxury, style
Who in their right mind would ever believe me if I told them I am going to be and am

holy as the Lord since it is impossible, paint a lot, speaker, act in a play at least once, dancer, husband to take me up in a plane to see a beautiful sunset up close and personal and I say "It's gorgeous and moving!" and he says "Yes you are" and I smile and he smiles and we kiss and he takes a strand of hair that has fallen over to my eye and places it behind my ear caressing his thumb on my cheek-me doing the same to his hand that has so gently been placed on mine and both of us knowing that this is a good moment...a moment where we both realize that this is the kind of love you hope for-the kind of love that's true-that is pure and genuine-the love you never want to end, the love you realize you can't live without, love you are soo thankful for having and yet soo scared you are going to lose it...thinking that if this plane would go down it and I would go down happy, volunteer, a person that does not make fun of people accidentally nor purposely, a person who genuinely cares

will mean the world, circus in my yard, take an adventure searching the source of the light but finding out it's just a lighthouse...but what is a lighthouse?(exactly), a lighthouse to the world, writing essays and short stories for the church newsletter come to find that the Lord had used those stories and essays and poems to reach the lost and to expand God's kingdom and maybe even save your children or yourself, not a theologist but a Christian, not a downer but a helper, someone who quotes the Lord and not the devil, someone who only fights for love, is interested in everything and anything and likes to try everything (to some extent), and most importantly to adhere and believe and be faithful to everything I have written down with all my heart and soul and mind and everything that comes with that.
Who would of thought?
