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
