Life Will Not Change Unless You Change

Dedicated to my daughter Heather Hello my dear one, I am here to say I care I wish for you the world, but you must be aware You will never become more, than you allow yourself to be So open up your eyes, and listen carefully I see the courage of a woman through the years I do admire You speak and I will listen, with you I never tirer If you could see what I do, and believe in yourself It wouldn’t be long before, another you would help Change your thoughts of habit, and live the life you dream For it’s not so far out of reach, but much closer than it seems Listen to your inner voice, let it be your guide Stay away from foolish advice, it’s these things that makes you hide Within you lives the passion, just waiting to be free So trust in your heart, and let it be your key People say they are your friends, but what you need to know For if this in fact was the truth, your best interest they would bestow Reach for your inner strength when life becomes a chore Life is worth the effort, so dare to dream for more Nothing is impossible, when your heart is in align You don’t need anyone, to make your light shine If there ever was a time for you, to be precise Don’t let today get away, to meaningless devise Your beautiful in all your glory, so be everything you are And hold your head up high today; for there is help beyond the stars This poem was inspired by my son Tommy {in heaven} Tom is also Heather’s Brother & Best Friend Written With Much Love and Respect, Mom
