Forever Strong

Forever Strong I hear that whisper, that snicker, that joke, The heart inside me, you finally broke. Although I never seemed annoyed, The person that I was, you have now destroyed. No matter how hard I tried to be your friend, You changed my life, held me off to the bitter end. For better or worse I still don’t know, Now through the years, I’ve had a chance to grow. Into a better person, from this day forward, As the ship of life, sails further shoreward. To a land of hope, and chances anew, One of love and friendships true. Today is the day I leave you behind, A world so cruel, and so unkind. But thanks to all the lessons I have learned, Those frowns on my face have finally turned. Into the smile that with God’s grace, Would take me to a wonderful place. A place where I finally could belong, The girl you took for granted, is now forever strong.
