Nov 2012
i was lost but now i'm found
there was darkness all around
waiting for that endless light
to guide me through the darkest night
feet weary, tired and covered in blisters
from walking, walking to find the sisters
then Hope came and took my hand
and tried to make me understand
that life is about the struggle and the fight
learning the difference between wrong and right
and Faith stepped in and tried to explain
that there is no joy without the pain
that there's no beauty in a tomorrow
if you've never danced with sorrow
and Love was here, she was last
told me that I had to let go of the past
that some things are never meant to be
only when we're open can we see
that life is full of promises and change
sometimes we feel out of place...strange
but we keep pushing through and moving on
learn to rise above, how to be strong
because we were given it from our moment of birth
our freedom, our chance to bless this earth
by the words we speak and the things we share
if we can only find a way to always care
about one another
sisters and brothers
we are all children of something
so much greater
