I'm a Model

I'm a model.

(Not the kind on the magazines).

I'm a model

with possible eternal impact.

I'm a model

everyday.

I have 2

very tiny fans.

I am a model

with potential to raise world-changers.

I don't draw attention

like regular models,

and often don't pay attention

enough to my fans.

I want to model

patience, joy, and love.

I'm falling short.

It is evident when

my fans start to sound

like me, act like me.

I hear them raise their

voices at the dog, just

like their model.

I hear their patience

lacking with each other, just

like their model.

I hear them get frustrated,

when it's not even something

important, just

like their model.

I want to model

kindness, gentleness, self-control.

I want to model

boldness, adventure, intentionality.

I want to model

creativity.

I want to model

Him in it all,

so they will be molded

to follow Him everyday.

Lord, please help

your grace fill in

where I fall so short with

these little ones.

Help me to model You,

so they too will model You.
