untitled

so yeah, this poem is the completed poem of the snippet from the song "see you through" it's a poem about getting to heaven and meeting god, so don't be surprised w/ the spiritual tone =P

-----------------

from my heart
through prayer
and with your promise of forever
my eyes rain of hope
that my faith could someday push me to overcome my weaknesses
through the strength you provide.
a chance of mercy and forgiveness is all i need
to fuel my motivation and reach the end of infinity with you
no matter my struggle

i know, father, that it won’t be much longer.
some how
some way
i’ll reach the end of infinity with you

but i don’t ask to conquer the world
i don’t pray to be the best or the greatest at anything
i only ask to survive my present day
that each day may be faced with courage
that each day may be enough to prove my love

i don’t pray for my faith to move the highest mountains
for my faith to surpass anyone else’s
but only enough to ensure the hope
that one day i’ll have hope
a chance that you will lift me to meet you in the sky.

yet i am only human
and my mistakes sometimes speak louder
than my own humble prayers for mercy
my spirit is worn from the struggles of this world
so easily discouraged by the aches and pains i’ve experienced

from my heart
through prayer
and with my capabilities that only echo your endless blessings
i still feel your love
so my heart, though it is so broken,
it beats at the chance to reach you in the sky
i have realized this destiny
is my only necessity
to get through the complexity
of this life full of so much insanity
every tear has always been worth it
every heartache so worth all the pain
every sacrifice was never a means for regret

every winter sprung back to the love of spring
and even when the warmth of summer fell to the rains of fall
i was so inspired watching these seasons changing
and i was once again left to bear the tears of the sky

so, from my heart
through prayer
i don’t ask for anything more but just enough
just enough strength to revive my spirit
just enough faith to give me hope
i don’t ask for anything more than enough love
to love you for the rest of forever

and i promise that my fate
and my life in your service will begin from infinity
i’ll count backwards to reach my beginning of forever with you
for just enough to reach the new day forthcoming
i promise to love you until this infinity raises me to the sky

and with this promise to inspire nations –
no matter my struggle
i have pledged to live my life proving to you this heart is true
with each breath –
my stride relentless in my pursuit to attest to your love
though often weakened by human desire,
my faith is never abandoned
with each yesterday conquered
and every new day forthcoming

these seasons changing are my proof that you exist past the pain
i am warmed by your sunrise
my heart awakened by your rains
my soul flies higher
my eyes opened wider
my faith strengthened by my desire to make it through
i’ll follow these sunsets you’ve paved
to find my way back home to you
and i’ll live through that infinity with you
some how
some way
