Shia's Gift of Courage

I promise to tell you how beautiful you are And let you know before you were born, you were a rare star I pray God cast courage upon you To remember the past but create something new Your a blessing, a new life It's up to me to teach you wrong from right This is your life and you have the wheel But I tell you my child, in this life there are downhills It's important that you get back up and carry on, To a brand new melody, to a brand new song Use this paintbrush to paint what's in your heart For your life is your own little work of art I pray God cast courage upon you, To explore this world with the gift he's given to you To walk with a smile and joy in your eyes Because this life, temporary sweet child, We are only here for a while For Shia, -Ashley Humes 6/03/12
