The Beauty of Tomorrows
A choice was made in search of better days
The impact of which would redeem her Grace
The light that had left and caused her distress
had alas returned to put her to the test
An easy road it would not be
But she could feel the tug of destiny
So she grabbed hold tight and stepped through the door
of the life and the future her heart longed for
Day after day as she remained committed
The world opened up to a dream revisited
Behold that girl so full of faith...
The woman she became once she let herself be saved
By the grit of that unwavering faith
She learned to lead her life instead of merely existing each day
Where is she now and what's her future look like?
She's focused and driven and has her eyes on the prize
She's been through the past and chose to leave it all there
Leaving nothing to stop her and daring the world to beware
For the intensity of her ambition and the fierceness in her flare
They give her the strength to carry any stresses she may ware
Long Live the Dream! was her testimony quite so
She was on a mission and let all the world know
And where did she get this calling? This marker to meet?
From the lessons of yesteryear and the feel of defeat
By accepting her flaws and the mistakes she had made
She learned to love herself again and so the plot was laid
In forgiveness is where she found her greatest of strengths
The regaining of her faith and hope for years
Just as He had brought her back to life
She was charged to do the same for those who suffered dimming lights
So she set forth with a brand new way
A joy, a calling, to lead the way
She rests easy now for the first time in years
Her mind holding no negativity and her heart no fears
She's grateful, too, for the winding and crumbling roads of her past
For they led her to see the Beauty in all of her Tomorrows and the simple but dignified hope that they casts
