Comparative Poem

You might think I’m just
a fifteen year old boy
with blonde hair
and green eyes
But I know I am more
way more than that
Not a computer or racecar
Not a bag of books or a tree
My life is a symphony
a constant pace-changing symphony
When I’m not living right
and the symphony is played horrifically wrong
When I lie, cheat, steal
I make ugly sounds
I crack pitches
Not only are the rhythms incorrect
but it’s out of tune as well
There’s no connection between movements
It is noticeable
that there is no heart put into the music
But when God comes into my life
The music comes together
as one beautiful sound
The conductor has control
The chords blend in perfect harmony
The moving lines are brought out
That music that is written
before the performer ever looks at it
can now be played how the composer wants it
God’s plan
for me
for everyone
I can choose ugly
or pretty sounds
But I choose
to have beautiful music
Yes, My life will have wrong notes
every once in a while
But through our Lord and Savior
It can sound gorgeous
