I didn’t know
You are such a trooper.
You are so strong.
You are such an inspiration to so many.
I am not sure where all these affirmations came from yesterday,
but they flowed into my life
from random people
in random places.
Then I kept hearing Whitney Houston
singing I didn’t know my own strength.
it made me realize that I never think about
how strong I am.
I just focus on getting through.
I just face the challenges
and I find what I need to get through.|
I call on my ancestors.
I remember my father saying
you are like a timex watch,
you take a licking and keep on ticking.
Do I even know my own strength?
The last several years have been filled with challenges,
and sometimes I get tired,
but I know I have to move through it.
As Whitney said,
I may tumble,
but I do not crumble.
I just move through each day
one moment at a time
and focus on where I am heading,
not what I have to overcome.
I don’t focus on the obstacles.
I focus on being an overcomer.
My soul is what reminds me
that the Ultimate will bring me through.
With my faith, I can make it through.
I may not see my strength,
Until others point it out to me.
I just knew, as the song says,
I was not meant to break.
I have always been meant to overcome.
I didn’t’ know, my own strength,
but I am beginning to understand and own it.
Soon,
I will know my own strength.
