standing prayer

I get so excited about the future I forget where I’m standing. 
Jumping out of my crib before I could walk. 
Couldn’t sit still, I’d rather run around the block.
Rearranging my furniture for a change of view. 
First car had to be different, bright blue. 
Taking a step forward not touching the ground. 
Thanking Jesus for when I was lost then I was found. 
Asking God to answer before we even talked. 
I’ve never been satisfied, always wanting to do better. 
Dreaming of scoring the game winning header. 
Grandma always said to let my imagination run wild. 
Although I will always have the heart of a child. 
I’d rather do it on my own than be told what to do. 
God said, trust me, I will take care of this for you. 
Falling in love, not even practical. 
Couldn’t walk away, it was too magical. 
Finishing school racked up some loans. 
Got a job in a bakery, that sold delicious scones. 
Now I’m here and I don’t even know where
Putting my life everything into prayer
