Never Before Poem by Chris Schleier, Jr.

Never before
have I touched a heart.
Never before
have I lit up a soul.
Never before
could I say that I tried...
Now I can say
that this is my goal.
Never before
have I danced with grace.
Never before
have I courted with love.
Never before
had I known who I am.
Now I can say
I know from above!
Never before
have I had more faith.
Never before
have I felt more at peace.
Never before
has destiny called me.
Now I can say
this lacking will cease!
