We will always be reminded
Of what’s important
It’s always there
Search for it
Search
We live and die
Rise and set
We accomplish and fail
Strive and sit
And we forget
That we’re made
For something greater
Than sitting in chairs
Reading books
Thinking idle thoughts
We were made
To go beyond
And create
And explode
Into what we were born to be
And keep going
And never stop
Because that’s who we are
We are fire
And ice
And opposites
But we strive for one thing
Glory

My Momma made me read a book
That changed my thoughts
And shaped my mind
And told me something new
