I will leave my mark.

it started as a flow of thoughts then i thought i'd make it a poem....but it seems like a song to me...or at least spoken word.

(chorus)
The light I have through God will shine beyond this shore.
What I believe is truth, not everyday folklore…
And one day you’ll know what it’s like when your face is to the floor.

(verse 1)
I will cast my stone of hope into the sea of life
I want it to skip a couple times
and land at rock bottom where someone needs it.
And this world will feel my ripples long after I’ve left.

(chorus)
The light I have through God will shine beyond this shore.
What I believe is truth, not everyday folklore…
And one day you’ll know what it’s like when your face is to the floor.

(verse 2)
I will stand upon the rocks I’ve stacked up from the bottom
And when you need it I’ll lend you the tallest one.
And I’ll tippy toe on the smallest one.
I don’t mind if I fall off I’m strong enough to swim
because of everything that has happened before

(bridge)
And  this light will shine beyond this shore.
When my face is to the floor.

Author's Note

ignore grammar. does this seem like a song to you? does it flow?

i'll talk to mr. dave and my dad about it.
i really like it. especially "land at rock bottom where someone needs it."
it's like.. you sink to rock bottom, you're at the all time low, because you're needed there.
i like it. =]
