I Am Not History
Poem written by Gordon Clarke, 9-28-2019
I am NOT history! My life has just begun!
I’m enjoying the race to victory, commitment can be fun.
Passion leads my story, so many chapters left to run.
I will go on.. and on and on,
Ensuring daily challenges are won.
Succeeding with choices by following the Son.
Receiving wisdom and strength from the Holy One.
I am NOT history! My life has just begun!
I’m enjoying the race to victory, commitment can be fun.
Passion leads my story, so many chapters left to run.
I will serve, again and again,
Sharing the love as gentle as the rain.
Declaring that mercy can relieve the pain.
Inspiring hope for confidence and dignity to regain.
I am NOT history! My life has just begun!
I’m enjoying the race to victory, commitment can be fun.
Passion leads my story, so many chapters left to run.
I will give, more and more,
My time, my talents, the love that’s in my core,
To encourage, to guide, the opening of the door,
So others let go of their burdens that he bore.
I am NOT history! My life has just begun!
I’m enjoying the race to victory, commitment can be fun.
Passion leads my story, so many chapters left to run.
