Write a letter or poem to your younger self sharing what you love most about him/her 10 months, 4 weeks agoWhat We Became
Amber DavisI Remember when your dad
Used to dress you up in the American flag
You don’t know it yet,
But you’ll still do that when you’re older
I love all your silent prayers,
How you always knew God had His angels there
And when you were sad
You let your tears land on His shoulder
I admire your undying faith
The faith that everything will always be Ok
“There’s no other option,”
You still say that to this day
And I’ve tried to resurrect your simple ways
How faith in times of trial made you brave
And pen and paper became your saving grace
Hidden in a drawer,
The words you couldn’t say
As you laid your spirit out on a page
And we’re still doing it todayVoting is closed

Amber, what a beautiful poem about your faith and how it has stayed with you into adulthood. For many of us, finding strength through God really is the only option. The simplicity of childhood is something many of us try to resurrect, but it can only really be a memory and inspiration to move forward. Thank you for inspiring me!
