Heavens’s Blueprint

They say I have
my mother’s eyes,
my father’s fire,
 etched in strands,
twisting like stories through my veins.

But I am not just
the sum of genes,
not just a mirror
of old memories and mistakes.

I am a brand new idea
breathed out by Heaven,
crafted in secret,
spoken into time
with purpose on purpose.

I am not bound
by bloodlines that broke,
or names that came
with shame or silence.
I was rewritten
before the world could define me.

His fingerprints are on my frame,
His breath gave life to my name.
I don’t just reflect the past,
I reveal the promise.

So, Don’t box me in with biology.
Don’t cage me with legacy.
I am legacy.
I am prophecy.

I am the echo of a divine thought
coming to life.

Heaven wrote my blueprint,
not in DNA,
but in destiny.

So don’t look for me
in their mistakes.
Look for me
in His mercy.
In the grace that grows in broken soil.
In the light that shines through
even the oldest roots.

I’m not just who they were,
I’m who He’s called me to be.

A new creation.
A child of the King,
with eternity in my bones, and heaven my home.
