Let Me Be Your Angel

Hearing you sing about an angel
Saw her on the street and she took your breath away
But baby she's just a pretty face
When you see me ya might as well be looking the other way
You'd let her break your heart just to make her smile
You don't even know you're breaking mine every day
But boy I'll still love you and you'll always take my breath away
So let me be your angel
Let me take your breath away; put a smile on your face
So run your fingers through my hair
I'm gonna show you how much I care
Baby let me be your angel
Talking about her breaking hearts along the way
She's the kinda girl doing that every day
But all the time I wish it's me you're looking for
You know I'll still love you and you'll always take my breath away
So let me be your angel
Tonight as you're seeing your angel's face
I'm seeing yours and hoping mine will take her place
So that maybe someday I'll open my eyes to see your face
Because boy I've never felt such grace
That's inside your gaze
So maybe I can be your angel
I could take your breath away; put a smile on your face
Maybe you'll run your fingers through my hair
Let me show you how much I care
Baby maybe you'll let me be your angel

Welcome to Change

Over the past year, I've gone through big changes; both physical, personally, and spiritually. I've found that while I am strong, I have weaknesses. That while I am vulnerable, I can withstand anything. While I'm an optimist, it doesn't mean that I cannot shed tears of sorrow. And while I have lost things, I have gained so very much more.

In January, I went through a serious break-up. And though for months afterwards, it hurt, seemed like I wouldn't find somebody new, or have any sort of relationship with my mother again... I have found healing in laughter and faith; strength in the fact that I am young and he won't be the last to hurt my heart; and the power of a mother's love and compassion is great beyond anything in this world. Over the months since then, my mom and I have become closer than ever before.

I've found the silver lining to my clouds through my faith and a backbone through the foundation of my family. I lost a few friends, but gained knowledge through experience. So thank you, God, for all that you have helped me achieve this year and I pray that you continue to bless me with the wonderful people and things that help me to overcome the obstacles that life places before me.
