I still remember.
I still remember the time when we all sat down in a circle
in the good shepherd room
no foundation at all, no goals
but a want to contribute
contirbute what we had
whether it was in prayer or music or our deep faith
even if we had nothing to offer
we still came every week
wanting to do something
something more for the someone
whom we felt so amazingly loved by
Remember?
how we asked ourselves one by one
what could we possibly offer?
in music i said
but i wasn't sure if i could
i had a guitar but i hardly played it
it would be my challenge i said
my challenge for God
all for him.
I remember
praying to the Lord
please teach me
teach me to play the guitar
to play for u beautifully
like i never ever did before
I remember,
before that very day
how my fingers stumbled and smarted
as i tried desperately to change chords
how i couldn't find the beat of the song
how i couldn't strum a rythmn at all
how much i felt like crying out in frustration
i will never be able to play the guitar
I remember
keeping it back in its case
and putting it in a corner of my room
and saying, I hate this.
And there my guitar sat
blocked by numerous items
from then onwards
i never touched it again
until that very day
Three years later.
I remember,
that very day when i took out my guitar
from that very same corner
it was covered in dust
but inside it looked just as new
I remember,
holding it once again
but this time with a sense of conviction
that this time i could
I remember,
how freely it came to me
how wonderful it sounded
how i never wanted to stop
how i learnt to feel
feel the song, the mood, the rythmn
and how i felt God being with me
Giving me strength to go on
I remember,
my first praise and worship session
and how i thanked the Lord
for this wonderful gift,
for bringing me this far
and yet so much closer
back into his arms.
I still remember.

(the 1st part's bout Log did u even know?) not quite accurate..but the facts are there. haha. i'm not sure if its a poem..i've never written a poem before..haha it was fun! i think its pretty...maybe i'll chim-merise it later if im not lazy haha..then it'll sound prettier! haha.
