I've lost a lot-
More than I thought I would,
I write to get me through
Holding onto hope.
I'd lose my mind-
If I didn't pretend to smile  
Because even pretend makes me feel
Worthwhile.
I've got a little-
Enough to push me on
Unexpected lessons
Value everything you love!
We think we're invincible
Until tragedy strikes us too,
Then we learn-
Never take things for granted
A storm is coming through.
