Statue of Clay?

So why didn't I just put my name? Well, to answer that question I'll first tell you why I chose this name. I chose it because it's what I am. See, my goal is to be a statue that stands fixed pointing to heaven, and for now i'm just made of clay. When the rain comes I often melt and lose my form. But the more I stare at the sky, the more the Son will bake me, and the stronger I will become. One day I hope to be a statue of stone, that can stand the weather, unmovable, staring to the sky without blinking. Why didn't I just use my name? Because every time I write I don't want it to be "me" writing. I want to remember to keep my gaze fixed upon Him and so I chose a name that will remind me to do just that.

We love with hearts entwined.
Dancing in the pure rain. 
Still our souls are untouched

feelings that flew now resigned. 
Yet through the tears and pain
We love with souls entwined. 

Hearts cry with voice combined
Return! Is the refrain.
Still our souls are untouched. 

thorns, the rose designed. 
Though it wraps like A chain
We love with hearts entwined. 

Now our thoughts are aligned. 
At last we see the way. 
Still our souls are untouched. 

Can the time rewind?
Until what's lost we gain?
        (until then)
We love with hearts entwined
Still with souls untouched.

    I cried when I read this.
    Our God is amazing.
    (You are [amazing] when he speaks in you)
    Grace.

    Thank you. God truly is amazing, I know because He is faithful to use someone as inadequate as I am to accomplish His will. I have to return the complement too. I really enjoy your writings, the last one in particular :) (I had meant to comment on it and tell you) It seems as though something always comes up.
    Joy.
