Appreciating You

You didn't come from money And you never had it made Worked as a child and surrendered All the money you were paid You turned your hopes into reality And I know that it's because You learned as soon as you could walk That that's what hard work always does Your morals are the road you choose Paved without compromise Your faith to travel it was strengthened When only God could dry your eyes And when the haters filled your cup And they would try to make you chug You spat it out and chose the wine Made only from the fruits of love You filtered foolishness from truth And you became a knowledge sponge! Wise words you heard throughout your life Were in the counselling you've done If there's one thing that I've learned from you It is: Listen to the wise A well of wisdom fills itself When someone keeps an open mind
