Yes Lord

 I know that everyone has a story and I’m no different.

I’m sure there are worse tales of tragedy and triumph, but that doesn’t diminish my struggles or take away from my accomplishments.

Maybe people won’t think that my journey isn’t all that remarkable, but they didn’t walk beside me during those hard times and fight the battles that tried to take me down.

I know the price I paid to get where I am and the sacrifices I made along the way..

And that’s what matters most to me:

Remembering where I started and how far I’ve come.

The fires that tried to burn down my life don’t overwhelm me anymore because I learned to use that pain and strife to fuel my passions and spark my drive.

I do this for me and the people I love.

I find a way every day to do all the things for everyone else and still have a little left over for me to enjoy a few moments of contemplative introspection.

There’s no fanfare or trophy for what I do and there doesn’t have to be.

I choose this path and this life…

And I’ll keep choosing it every day in every way.

The way I overcome the challenges is a testament to my unending courage and battle tested bravery.

I’m proud of who I’ve worked hard to become and all the things I’ve fought to achieve.

I could’ve given up so many times and stayed down, but that’s not who I am or will ever be.

I’m a warrior with a heart of gold and a soul full of depth..nothing in this life is too much for me and there’s no obstacle I can’t overcome.

So, one day when I’m nothing more than a beautiful memory of strength and resiliency, I want them to speak of me in inspired tones with heroic words of valor and grit.

That I never gave up or gave in and I paid every price that I had to in order to keep pushing forward.

That I overcame everything and kept going, fighting and evolving.

I want my story to be one of a kind…

One where I loved hard when there was love to be had, fought bravely when I had to and never gave up on anyone or anything.

That in the end, for my people, my life and my dreams, I gave it all I had…
