Strength

Me, standing silhouetted on a beach at sunrise with soft waves rolling in as the sun peaks over the buildings.

Part two in “Finding my own voice”

Life is a journey that rises and falls,
Spins you around, demands you answer its call.
Closed doors open windows, you need to look through.
Place no boundaries on what you can do.
One step moves you forward; two pull you back
Hit walls, turn corners, create your own track
Drained and exhausted, it’s ok to cry.
Release the emotions, they help you to fly.
Rise every morning your heart open wide.
Feel energy flow, and ebb with the tide.
Gentle but mighty, like waves on the seas.
Bending not breaking, like trees in the breeze.
Cracks, reinforced, rebuilt, and resealed.
Stable and solid, true strength is revealed.
Surround by love you don’t walk alone
Your tribe brings a power you can feel in your bones.
Be brave, stand tall, lift your arms to the sky
Refuel your soul, keep your head held high
Steel tempered in fire, is stronger by far
Your strength is the fabric of all that you are.
