I awake everyday- here to serve and protect.

Giving everything my all- anxious to tackle what’s next.

See, If you keep giving one day- they may wake feeling grateful.

Then perhaps that feeling would spread- and the whole world would be thankful.

You see sharing is love and love’s strong- it runs even deeper than roots,

Having love made me sure- that I’d always see truth.

I walk through life everyday- trying my hardest to keep an open mind,

With peace in my heart I was sure- that happiness wouldn’t be hard to find.

With smiling faces and laughter- I’d always find my way.

Holding close to what I believe- I would never lose faith.

Then one day I woke up feeling nothing- like I had stopped living,

Because of the constant taking- I had stopped giving.

Because of the hate- I found it harder to love.

Through all the lies I couldn’t see- what really was.

And I tried, and I tried- but my vision was blurred.

Then happiness and peace- became just another two words.

All the smiles and laughter- looked sarcastic and deceiving.

Then my faith, yes my faith- didn’t seem worth believing.

I thought I was done- like, I fell off a cliff and then died.

But It was then at that moment- I came back to life.

Understand, that nothing comes easy- everything has some sort of catch,

And the harder it is- well, that’s just what makes it the best.

I’m not saying don’t lose hope- just don’t ever give up.

At some point everyone falls…….Just have the strength to get up.
