Better Days Ahead Poem by Mary Rodriguez

Life is full of choices we make
It's a fair amount of both give and take
As time has gone by, I've watched you grow strong
This path you've been on, I know has seemed long
Trust me, better days ahead will come
Instead of feeling like a battle that can't be won
Each day produces a certain amount of gladness and sorrow
During your struggles, remember there's always tomorrow
Some days it's hard to know where to begin
We all have an inner strength that lives within
I'll help you find your way past your fears
Surely you can see that after all these years
I promise to be with you through it all
Instill in you the strength to stand tall
I feel what you feel deep inside your heart
Our souls bound together from the start
I support and respect every decision you make
Taking that step I know wasn't easy to take
Brighter days are within your reach
It's for you what I most beseech
When I walk beside you my face beams with pride
My feelings for you, I'll never hide
Hear my words of comfort whenever you're distraught
Every second of the day you're in my thoughts
