story

/

Your story is in your heart

Just waiting to be told

You made it here

To this point

To this day

You may have struggled

Got lost along the way

Veered off path

But here you are

Right where you are suppose to be

You are beautiful

You are strong

You are brave

You deserve to be seen

You deserve to shine

The world needs to hear

What you have to say

The worlds need to hear

Your story

Tell it, share it, speak it outloud

put yourself out there

/

You have to put yourself out there

Experience it

Joy and pain

Happiness and sadness

You have to put yourself out there

Show your beautiful face to the world

Let them see you dance

Let them see you sing

You have to put yourself out there

Be vulnerable and open

Share your stories

Let others in

You have to put yourself out there

Because it is the only way to open up that heart of yours

To feel

To live

To be

"your good"

/

"your good" he says

When I am deep down in the trenches

Unsure of how I will find my way out

Struggling, fighting, blinded by the road ahead

"your good" he says

When I think I cannot take another step

Exhaustion setting in

Thoughts of failure overtaking my confidence

"your good" he says

When I feel defeated

My hope has dwindled

And I am struggling to see myself

No matter where I am

he says "your good"

And he is right

I am good

If I am deep in the trenches

Struggling to take another step

or fighting to keep hope alive

I am good

In that moment

Where ever I am

I am exactly where I need to be

I am good

I have worked hard to get to that point

Persevered

 and pushed myself forward

I have been on the constant look out for how to take the next step

And when I find it I forge right ahead and take it

I may not be where I want to be

I may wish to be further along on the journey

I may stumble and I may fall

But wherever I am, I am good

Grateful

/

I am grateful because

You listen to what I am feeling

You help me find answers to the difficult questions

You open up my eyes to a new way of seeing

Or you confirm that I need to follow my inner voice

I am grateful because

You allow me the space to open up

You are tender

You are kind

You are there for me

I am grateful because

You stand in that space with me

You see me

Exactly as I am

And you accept that person

I am grateful

For who you are

And how you show yourself to the world

You lead by example

And you go for it

For all of this I am grateful
