When you have a mother
Who kept you alive but
Did not stand behind you
In some of your greatest moments
When you have a best friend
Who coaches you through life
For many years but cannot
Be there for you like a family
Whenever you are down or
Whenever you are in need
When you have a brother
Or a sister who has loved you
And has been there for you and
They have died or even worse
They have also betrayed your
Deepest love for them then where?
Where do you find hope
Where do you find the inner strength
Where does the light come from
It has to come from within
Like a step of one day at a time
Like a drink to quench your thirst
After a very long time you
Take the steps a long the way
Never to forget let go or give up
The path that has been tread
Those people they have helped
You to get where you are today
But who you are becoming
Nothing can stand in the way
Of this someday you have been
Working so hard towards this
And feeling sometimes very alone
Asking the right question
Can bring it home
Not if you can but if you will
This is who you are
This is who I am
This is what it means
To be willing
