Still Standing

We’ve traveled far

Just to see who we are

We’ve been shamed

We’ve been defamed

We’ve gotten lost

Not knowing at what cost

We’ve faced naysayers

While saying our prayers

We’ve searched for a place

To run our race

We’ve shed several tears

Grappled with many fears

Fallen and risen again

Before faith taught us to win

We’ve searched for strength

Before talking with God at length

We searched for a home

Where every soul can roam

We’ve wondered what to do

Before God changed our view

We’ve had a soft landing

We’re still standing

We’ve missed what’s by design

Wondered if everything is fine

We’ve looked at our past

Wondered how we would last

We’ve searched for affection

Longed for protection

While trying to see

What’s meant to be

We’ve longed for peace

Our hearts won’t release

While searching for a smile

That will last a while

We’ve looked at every cloud

Before faith made us proud

We’ve searched for a way

To live every day

Before being filled to the core

Then blessed with more

We’ve had a soft landing

We’re still standing
