May You Find What You Need

You need strength to be certain,
You need courage to have doubts.
You need strength to fit in,
You need courage to stand out.
You need strength to share a friends pain,
You need courage to feel your own pain.
You need strength to hide your own pain,
You need courage to show and deal with it.
You need strength to stand guard,
You need courage to let your guard down.
You need strength to conquer,
You need courage to surrender.
You need strength to endure abuse,
You need courage to stop it.
You need strength to stand alone,
You need courage to lean on a friend.
You need strength to love,
You need courage to be loved.
You need strength to survive,
You need courage to live.
May you find strength and courage
in everything you do,
And may your life be filled with
friendship and love.

 

This is for Timothy and Jennessee,
I hope your lives are full of
love and happiness. Love Mom
