POEM FOUND

I am a tired, fading star overlooking the fresh beauty of all creation,
I am a lonely ruddy sailboat whose been tossed across the raging sea,
I am a general in an army of only one often fighting against myself in a battle within my mind,
I am an old familiar hymn that brings tears at its remembrance,
I am scars and tears because of the kindness I once extended freely,
I am faded photographs and fond memories of a childhood innocence lost,
I am a lavender tulip standing confidently in it's beauty,
I am a mighty warrior in a battle that is no more,
I am a wilting flower whose been trodden upon by loved ones,
I am a faithful friend who now laughs alone,
I am a timid lamb in desperate need of a loving shepherd,
Lord what will you do with me?
Sometimes I feel as though I know nothing at all except to trust in you and to hold tightly onto your hand,
I know enough to put my hope and trust in you,
This is who I am, collectively, metaphorically, and unashamedly, me... spiritually, physically, emotionally and mentally, me...
So far away from your perfection but forever inscribed into the palm of your hand,
By your mercy, by your grace, and by your stripes, this is who I am.

A friend of mine found this...it was strangely familiar, yet I don't really know that girl anymore. She sounds like a girl I think I used to know.
