Sometimes

Sometimes people smile at you,
but they are hating on you.
Sometimes people walk with you,
but they aren't going where you going.
Sometimes when you dance you have to take the lead,
sometimes when you dance you have to follow,
sometimes when you dance you have to dance to beat of your own drum.
There are people who will justify their hate,
Their hate "you" it will elevate.
There are times when your heart breaks, there are times when your heart sings.
The point of it all is that you live, and you live like you know the reason why,
You live because you know that there is home for you beyond the sky.
I live to love and I love to live
I thank God for all the blessings that He daily gives.
I thank Him for grace,mercy and favor.
So remember that if they smile at you or not,
if they can't or won't go where you go
If you have to dance all by yourself
Know that you serve a God who is always present unless you placed Him on the shelf.
