Analysis of Presence of my Father
Deborah Nataly Perez 1984 (Los Angeles, CA)
Be who you are,
Not where you were meant to be.
Do today,
Not what you did last night.
Take from the present,
Not from a past unseen.
Do as you may,
Not what you might have done.
So with the real,
With the mask unworn.
Be as you may,
Not who you may want to be.
Do with your will,
What you were meant in life.
Walk in the light,
As you were unwilling to see in the dark.
Walk only by Faith,
For Satan has no dominion over you there!!
