I was not born.
I was imagined, planned, and made
by God.

My skin is a testimony of
the people who came
before me;

My heart reminds that
I am here to love unconditionally
and unapologetically;

God gave me a brain to
think, learn and imagine
wonderful things.

He even made sure that my name
was His own unique signature.

I am not just a person,
but a carefully crafted book
holding all the stories of
regret, failure, success,
happiness, a story of hate,
love and kindness
for the generation before me.

I am not just an extension
of their legacy, but also of
God’s.

And may I just say: that He did a
wonderful job of creating me.
