Beauty Within

So far I know that the truth in 
me 
Tells me that it's so tangled 
with the love I have for myself 
and for my wife
She has lifted me when I had 
doubt
I questioned where I was and 
where I'm going 
But she's there to hold me 
tightly and say your great
I believe in you and will be by 
your side everywhere you go
Without this I know I could not 
do what I've done 
Learning everyday to use my 
voice for the good 
To fight for GLBT rights and 
social work justice
Those mean the world 
We are here for a reason and 
purpose 
I didn't know before
 I have grown to be aware
The beauty we hold within will
Keep us fighting and growing
For a cause bigger than 
ourselves 
Fight the fight and I shall talk 
the talk
