poem ~ I’m gonna

I’m going to tell you
every bit of my heart,
Even if you tear it
freaking all apart.

I’m gonna love you
even if you don’t understand, 
And push me away
when I extend my hand.

I’m gonna show you
what it really means,
To be a true friend
in a world that isn’t as it seems.

I’m gonna give you
every chance to be you,
In spite of the people
who can’t love you for you.

I’m gonna share with you
in the depths of your pain,
And encourage you to live
with your heart open for gain.

I’m gonna demonstrate 
all the ways that you can,
Be intentional in your life
to create your dreams and plans.

I’m gonna be Jesus
with arms, hands and feet,
And show you that
unconditional love can’t be beat.
