I am different now from who I once was (poem)

I am different now

from the girl I once was.

That girl sipped tea and watched the sunrise

as she read her Bible

and wrote poetry.

This woman wears business casual.

She is confined by her busy life

and takes no time to relax,

little for her Creator.

This woman remembers the girl from before.

She will reach for the restful beauty

she once knew with her Lord.
