With special thanks to those who contributed to my guest series last week.

I am like a rock tumbler, changing within continuously as if it’s a current that I am not controlling.

I read my words and I don’t see myself, as I’ve known her, there anymore.

Who was that person I used to know?
– Mort –
A fight to move past
The three year old
We used to be
– Mike –
While I think I have evolved, I don’t think I have changed.

I will keep my mind wide open for everyone I meet. I will be full of hope, possibility and trust.

THAT WASN’T ME
Lyrics:
Hang on
Just hand on for a minute
I’ve got something to say
I’m not asking you to move on or forget it
But these are better days
To be wrong all along and admit it is not Amazing Grace
But to be loved like a song you remember
Even when you’ve changed
Tell me
Did I go on a tangent?
Did I lie through my teeth?
Did I cause you to stumble on your feet?
Did I bring shame on my family?
Did it show when I was weak?
Whatever you’ve seen, that wasn’t me
That wasn’t me
Oh, that wasn’t me
When you’re lost, you will toss every lucky coin you’ll ever trust
And you’ll hide from your God like He ever turns his back on us
And you’ll fall all the way to the bottom and land on your own knife
And you’ll learn who you are even if it doesn’t take your life
Tell me
Did I go on a tangent?
Did I lie through my teeth?
Did I cause you to stumble on your feet?
Did I bring shame on my family?
Did it show when I was weak?
Whatever you’ve seen, that wasn’t me
That wasn’t me
Oh, that wasn’t me
But I want you to know that you’ll never be alone
I want to believe
Do I make myself a blessing to everyone I meet?
When you fall, I will get you on your feet
Do I spend time with my family?
Did it show when I was weak?
When that’s what you see, that will be me
That will be me
That will be me
That will be me
That will be me
