Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

give me the strength to rise from this pain
and the courage to continue at all costs
give me the strength to lose all this shame
and knowing what I have lost
give me the strength to smile, when all I feel is dumb
to substitute these bad days, for the best ones yet to come
give me the strength to say I am lost when my pride has empaired my sight
to say why don't you love me even knowing I've never done anything right
give me the strength to say I love you, knowing there may be no reply
give me the strength to stay by your side when all you do is cry
give me the strength to try again after many times I failed
to pick up the pieces and carry on after those many nights i've wailed
give me the strength to say I love you when all else has gone wrong
give me the strength to be patient for that special someone regardless of how long
