Free to
be Me
by
Barbara Philbrook
I am now
free to be me what exactly does that mean,
I'm free to be me "But Me is someone I've never
seen.
When I was
a child I lived in someone else's home,
the ability to make choices was not a freedom I was
shown.
When I
left home it was to marry for the rest of my life,
and in this home he made the decisions not anyone else
not even his wife.
Favorite
Color? Do I have one I honestly do not know,
I've always chosen what ever would please others ever
since I began to grow.
Style of
furniture what ever pleased whomever else was around,
if I didn't like it I would not dare utter a sound.
Music I've
always listened to whatever everyone else liked the most,
I didn't make the choice even when I was playing the
host.
Free to be
me Lord I really need your help here,
free to be me that thought is filling me with fear.
I don't
know how to be me Lord I don't know who I am,
but you knew me before I was born before this world even
began.
Introduce
me to me Lord the me way deep inside,
open me up that I may see Lord don't let me continue to
hide.
Do I have
a favorite food I have only prepared what I was told,
teach me what I am Lord and could you make me a little
bit bold?
Show me
all of my hidden desires and the types of things I can
do,
teach me my strengths and talents Lord so that I may
diligently serve you.
