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
