Inspiration 

What is it that inspires you ? 

What makes your heart sing ?

What matters more than anything ?

That's a big question, but you know.

It's having someone who believes in you,

It's having someone who speaks the truth,

It's having someone who's not afraid to fail.

It's having someone whom you can trust,

It's having someone who is not always strong,

It's having someone who shares their feelings.

It's having someone who stands by you,

It's having someone who truly understands, 

It's having someone who lives their faith. 

It's so much more than that you know. 

You sometimes find that special gift,

But are you truly ready to take them on ?

They say they are a handful so be careful,

They are smart and always want to learn,

They are sometimes fragile showing their pain.

They questioned things always wanting better. 

They are so beautiful from the inside and out, 

And even better, they become your trusted friend.

A lifetime of fears and anxieties, do you dare ? 

They understand you better than even you do,

They take the time to listen as you two talk,

What a special connection hearts beating as one

Time to sing alleluia to the Lord Almighty,

It's so cool to have someone trusted to love,

So throwing caution to the wind you begin. 

It's an adventure of a lifetime, here I come, 

Let us walk together to face our fears,

Such an inspiration being able to do it together
