Inclined to be better than I am
Strength learned from weakness
I know that I can

Living in fear, growing through pain
It serves a purpose for me to gain

Laughter and tears for many the years
trials force me to face those fears

In the midst of it all I surely will strive
To keep what is pure, to keep hope alive

Daily I grow, if I know it or not
I am changing as we all are
I am changing a lot.

Purpose for focus is in the mind
in the soul..
Keeping the vision.. not losing the goal.

Remembering today is just here for now
I am learning for a purpose
And I refuse to bow.

Doing the most important of things
priorities in tact..or feel the sting

Taking a moment to meditate on importance
Keeping it clear.. how I despise ignorance.

This moment in time will past as the others
I fear I am less than many of mothers

Doing my best so I say..do I lie?
I can say there have been times
that I did not try

Reaching down deep to feed what I hunger
Pulling up for my soul.. what makes me stronger.

Thankful for so much.. For I am blessed
beyond measure..
I kiss goodnight that which I treasure.

I am strong.. but for a time I was fooled
For a moment was needed but not to rule.

Humility will knock at your door made of steele
You will be reminded of what is so real.

Only for a time if you allow its lesson
Once you allow it the'll be no more obsession

Love of a friend teaches me all the while
To never forget I have passion and style

It's great to think highly of your very own self
As long as humility is also your wealth.

A day, a week it's all up to you
So what with your life is it you'll do?

What is it that makes you better..
What is that makes you smile
What is that takes you to a place that is higher?

Whatever that is.. focus on it's path
Do not allow distraction to formulate your math.

Life is grand and life is a teasure
Each day is a gift.. It's all how you measure.
