PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

It seems as though I have been blessed
With a family who loves me so
Friends who support no matter what
No matter where I go

But academically, I’ve had problems
Changes in adjusting to college
My first year…wasn’t so great
I barely passed a class

So here I am…a freshmen once more
Hoping to do better
Hoping I can last this semester
Without flunking out

My desire is to be here
I want to learn more about my Lord
I want to know Him more

Ever since I’ve been able to remember
My plan was to go to this school
My parents met here…it seemed only right
That I carry on the tradition
That I come to school at Briercrest
And that I try my best to succeed
No matter how many times I think to myself
“You’re not good enough”
“You can’t do it”
Or “Why even bother?”

I think back now on this last year
And how much I still learned
I am feeling more excited than I thought I could
All because of…a second chance at learning
A second chance to prove to myself I was right
And a second chance just to dive into my Bible
And learn what I need to learn
From people who truly want me to succeed
