Nerves I Value Poem by Sarah Sisson

When I get nervous about something.
I must embrace the feeling.
Even discomfort defines our existence.
So I must not discredit what is real.
I will enjoy every feeling that He gave me.
It was given for a reason.
Nerves are of value when you combine
Them with simple gratitude. So I say to myself,
If I had not this thrill in my stomach,
would I not be moving towards acceptance.
Now, I'm not talking about fear or love
but this product of both. When I arrive for
the first day, I will know the unknown
and feel the peace.

The nerves I am grateful for today.
