Strength Within Me Poem by Melissa Patty

Without you the years have disappeared into sandy dust
Was the courage to be strong was a must
Strength to journey into the unknown
Is how these past years I reflect on how much I've grown
The pain that has been trapped inside
I will raise above and take life in my stride
To them days that seems dull and grey
I forever know that I have the strength to drive me though each and every day
