Green

I am green. My youth haunts me and leaves me with a lack of life experience.
But I want to be evergreen. My desire for wisdom drives me and raises questions.

I want to stand out, as we all do. I want to make a difference, to help others, to be a bright spot in a cloudy world. I want to be the change that I desire for the world, and I want to leave people with a good taste in their mouth after they spend time with me. I want them to fill recharged, rested and known.

These wants are good; they are true. But still, I am green. My lack of wisdom keeps me from being who I want to be, not all the time, but some times.

And one day, we’ll all be evergreen, all the time.

Cliff’s note: Be light, be salt, be evergreen.
