The answers are within sight
You see the real you in the mirror
No longer in a foggy daze
Your vision is becoming clearer

Your future is for the taking
Are you ready to make your mark?
Make that leap of faith
Time to leave this world of dark

Unexplored terrain
Awaits your outstretched hand
You can make things possible
It’s time you took a stand

Your faith sometimes shaky
Sometimes quite strong
When you’re feeling not your best
Remember how far you've come along

Life is an uphill battle
A hard and difficult climb
But once you've reached the top
The victory so sublime

Take a moment to slow down
Let your soul dance
Free to feel
Don't be afraid to take a chance

Your true colors
Please never hide
And in time you shall see
Your heart overflowing with love & pride

"Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is before you can meet again. And meeting again after a moment or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends."

"Fate exists but it can only take you so far,
Because once you're there
It's up to you to make it happen."
