You Before I

YOU BEFOR I

You are different ATK,
Different from the world in which you live.

You live your life as an example,
An example that deserves recognition,
An example close to that of Christ’s,
An example that has changed my life and will change the world.

The ears you listen with,
The eyes you observe with,
The words you teach with,
The arms you hug with,
The time you give,
The home you open up,
The heart you love with,
All of these you execute in your life as an example to all.

You are different ATK,
Different from the world in which you live.

When other seek pleasure,
You seek discipleship.
When other buy new clothes,
You rip your old ones.
When other fix their hair,
You have extra bed head.
When others shower,
You sweat while serving the world.
When others work eight hours for pay,
You work sixteen only to glorify god.
When others tease,
You pray.

You life your life thinking WWJD,
Not what your flesh wants,
That is why you are different,
Because you are the closest to perfection I’ve ever seen.

this one is important not because it is very poetic, BUT HOW TRUE IT IS!
