one day
we will be whole
but until then
we’ll keep fighting,
we’ll take one day at a time
we will laugh and we’ll cry
and we will learn to take our walls down
we’ll be a lighthouse to each other
and carry one another through the night
we’ll see the sun rise
and we’ll find the courage to try again
the waves might try to drown us
but promise me
you won’t sink

when will you see the stars that shine in your heart?
when will you hear the music that your soul is singing?
when will you see the sweetness of your spirit, the kindness of your heart?
when will you see the brave warrior living in your soul?
when will you believe that you are loved?
when will you see the threads of grace woven in your hair?
when will you look at yourself in the mirror and see all that you can be?
when will you see who you are?
