Allison,
So often in life
a doubt creeps in,
as whispered in our ear.
The Enemy accusing us
would have us still with fear.
Should we just stop?
Give up the dream?
Give in to avoid the strife?
Or flip him off and take the hit
and get on with our life.
I've seen both done.
I've done both, too.
I'm not the one to preach.
To say that either is easy,
no I couldn't make that reach.
But as someone who has taken hits
and can look back now and laugh,
I realize that who I am
is really only half
the problems that confront
and the rest is up to me.
I hope you know that who you are
is more than what you see.
I've seen you face adversity,
take chances, fail and then
I've seen you dust yourself off,
get up and try again.
I know that you've been hurt before.
had ones that you trust cheat,
I hear the pain shine through your words
though you try to be discrete.
You quetion things, the status quo,
faith, beauty and even truth.
But you're not satisfied to just question
you go get your answers too.
Never letting the pain that some
selfish ass has carelessly done to you
cause you to close off your heart,
and become one of "the careless" too.
You're smart, and funny, and caring,
demanding, thoughtful, cute.
You deserve the best life has to give.
And, HELL YES! I BELIEVE IN YOU!!!
Hope you're smiling
Uncle Steve
