Where I am from

I am from my heart. I call it home...

It's something of mine that define me...
And It's something I can call my own.

I am from the beat of a drum,
that hypnotizes the feet,
and move them to the beat.

I am from an IV once a week,
that offers me an opportunity, a chance, a second chance,
to gain what has been lost, and keeps what the doctors can not keep.

I am not from the media,
who makes y yourself that isn't true,
as if it were a bully, it makes you feel meaningless, weak, and unworthy.

I am from sin,
in which there isn’t any way of escaping,
except through His cleansing blood, that flows through the veins of the saved.

I am from 1 Timothy 4:12
it's why I spread the Word with others,
and makes me proud to be called a son of the Living Eternal One.

I am from Him, whom I call Dad,
who was and is and is to come.
He can turn tests into Testimonies, turn a mess into a Message, and a trial into a Triumph,

I am from the Bible,
it's my guideline to living a life worth living,
it's why I call it the Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth.

I am from questions like,
when will we find out our purpose in life? Where’d I come from?
so, I ask that question that has puzzled us for centuries...

Am I from Adam,  apes or  spontaneous combustion?
either way, there's no physical proof, but isn't that something we wonder?
I guess that's where faith comes into play... right?

Everything I am can be found in my heart
my heart is my home...
...and my home is where I am from.
