Before there was a name

Original Submission by Sana Satheesh

Before there was a name

Before time whispered your name,

God dreamed you into being.

You were chosen,

each part placed with purpose,

each moment laced with meaning.

He wrote you in a language no one else knows,

every heartbeat a stanza,

every breath a prayer -

a sacred rhythm that only the heavens can begin to understand.

No hand but His can hold eternity still,

writing souls with a love too vast for any language to hold.

He is the poet from whom all beauty learns its name,

trust that you're known,

even if the world doesn't read you the same.
