The Transition of Chris to Christopher

out of the ordinary..in2 the blue,
never knew i could smile so much,
and then it came true,
from cloudy day..no end 2 the rain in sight,
the darkest of hours,
then on came the light,
weakness became strength,
something i've never felt before,
and a longing 2 be better,
a need 2 be something more,
... a lonely soul and a shell became a man,
a new kind of whole 2 feel and a world 2 understand,
it's not touch and see, it's touch and hold,
tight 2 the promise that there ain't no letting go,
i've finally found me after so long searching,
and i like who i became,
so much so that a boy named Chris,
had 2 change his name..

from now on,
i embrace who i was always meant 2 be,
....Christopher....
