"In A World"

I would like to share a poem I wrote years ago when I was in college. At the time I was interning for my undergraduate degree in Therapeutic Recreation. I was at a center for children & adults with disabilities. I was so touched and humbled by these individuals various abilities. Although many of them were faced with very serious disabilities it never kept them defeated. Some of them were able to play instruments and talk through electronic devices. They were very sweet and I will never forget my experience at that center.

9/11 is also a day that is etched in many Americans minds. Most of us still remember where we were and what we were doing when our nation faced this crisis. Although I cannot completely understand what any of those families who lost loved ones are going through even today, my heart grieves for them. They are in my prayers today.

We don't live in a perfect world or we would still be living in the garden of Eden before Adam & Eve sinned. Because of that, the Bible warns us that trouble will come. It is inevitable. However, there is hope in Jesus Christ who died for us so that we can have salvation through him.

Here is the poem I wrote:

" In A World" by Kaywana Simpson

In a world where everything is less than perfect

it's a wonder why some things are still a surprise

and why everything becomes an aspect

of a life so challenging and without much compromise.

In a world where we have eyes but are yet sometimes blind

it doesn't seem strange how much we don't realize.

In fact, some things are beyond a comprehension that we'll never find

especially when it's never even been visualize.

In a world where we are all unique in some kind of way

it's not strange how no two fingerprints are quite the same

but a touch to the heart will always stay

just as a fingerprint is personal and that way it will always remain.
