Believe In Them

This is the path I 
choose,my greatest 
reward will be knowing 
I did it and not for me, 
but for them. My family 
means the world
to me,they always will 
and I will stand by
them just like they have stood by me. 
I've always been 
told I am a leader,
I've been working on patience and being positive and now I'll 
be put to the test. I can't change 
everything that may happen, 
nor  can I protect what 
I have no control over 
but I can be the one who 
takes it all on so that 
others may have it easier 
and when all of it is said 
and done,looking back and 
seeing the faces will warm my 
heart and I'll know that 
what I did was right, 
was worth everything I'll 
ever have been put through 
and when I feel I can't I'll 
know I can because I am not a quieter, 
not a failure and 
good is all that's left.....
it is here and I'm ready 
now! I'm gearing up, 
holding my head high, 
fighting back any tears 
and walking stronger 
with every breath I have to take. 
You don't have to understand, 
nor make sense of what I've 
written. Just be positive, 
patient,and keep the faith. 
I find that I love better, 
smile a lot more and am 
happy because of such 
simple words if you really 
believe in them. 
Life is a blessing, 
so is everything and 
everyone in it, I intend to 
live life with love,open arms 
and the widest mind I 
can have towards everyone 
and about everything.
