Today I am beyond grateful
For the ones who stayed
The loved ones that remained strong
When my life broken into a million pieces
Who held steady
While I learned how to breathe again
I'm grateful for their soft voices
When mine was harsh and damaging
And the quiet but constant ways they reminded me
I'm still worthy
and I have so much more to give
I'm grateful to those that told me not to give up
Who carried me through the fire
When it all felt too much to bare
Those that never left my side
And reminded me that they will always care
I'm grateful for me too
For not giving up
Even when everything told me to
Waking up in the morning
And choosing to still give
Even when I didn't think I had enough to share
I'm proud to say
Through it all I stood tall
with a spine of steel
And a glimmer of hope for tomorrow
So here's to the ones who stayed
Who never left my side
As I grow and continue to rebuild
And walking into a future
I became to scared to even imagine
And
"That's all I've got today"
"Is that all?"
Love you for always and forever

back to today
