It Takes One Person
It takes one person to change your life
To bring you out of depression that cuts like a knife
To believe in you when all seems lost
To fight for you at any cost
When we can’t be there for ourselves
When all is lost and no hope in sight
This person comes forging out of the dark night
To tell us we are worthy and are worth the fight
They say to step out of your box
Look at life from a different view
Look at everything as if it’s brand new
You can restart your life at any time
Today is the day I will make it mine
I will choose to believe I have the strength
The courage to muster on at any length
I will continue moving forward with a deep belief
That I am worth all that God made me to be
So thank you to my friend who believed in me
It helped me move forward when I could not see
We all have that someone special in our life
To push us forward and bring out our light
From this day forward I will believe in me
No judgment, no harsh words
I will just simply be
Bringing forth all my wonderful gifts God wants me to see!
