This poem is about a young lady who is facing some trials and tribulations in her life. Her back is against the wall and she has nobody else to turn to but God. She wants to walk in purpose and no longer live her life in fear. She wants to be guided by God. She stretches her hands to Him, letting Him know that if He directs her path, she'd use it as a testimony of how He turned her life around. I am her, she is me! - La Kierrea Jenkins
Stretched Hands
But that day was different
That day she was tired
That day she listened to the ancestors
When they told her to call God
To go after everything her heart desired
That day she became bold enough to stand against her fears
That day she made no excuses
Patted herself on the back for wiping her own tears
She let go of everything that disturbed her peace
Went searching for the open door that would finally set her free
She was no longer a shadow and wanted to let her light shine
She told the Lord she’d use this day as a testament of His Glory
She’d tell the world how much in shambles her life was in until He changed her story
How she wanted to give up
How she was in a dark place
But because of Him she was saved by His Mercy and Grace
