A Reason To Go On


Always I will be reminded
Always I will remember
Always I will know

Yet my courage will overcome
Yet my strength will overcome
Yet my desires and passions
will overcome

Tears came, tears went
Oh how I long for yesterday
If only I had known

For every moment of sorrow
I find a reason to go on

For everything I feel I cannot
control
I find that I can control

There is a reason for rain
There is a reason for sunshine

There is a reason for likes
There is a reason for dislikes

As each day goes by
I am there

As each setting of the sun
I await it's return

One foot print at a time
my foot print

One moment of hope
one moment of strength
As I look back,
then too I look ahead

I know I lost something,
but I also know I kept something
and that is me...

I welcome me home...
