Darling

It's a big bad world, darling
They tease and please
They taunt

They lie and they deceive
They starve and drench
And they do it again

The world won't be your
Parents home, your mothers lap

It's be dark, grey
It'll be tiring and lonely
And it'll disappoint

Your people will cheat
And desert on your worst day

But darling, remember
Close your eyes and
Take a deep breath

Look inside your immense heart
Look inside your immense strength
Your innermost layer of power

Look beyond what you see
And look beneath what appears

Look within your dear self
Your endless strength
That'll only grow each day

Look yourself in the mirror
And get inspired, darling

You survived another day
And the world didn't fall over
The sky didn't disappear

You prevailed, a day at a time
An inch closer to your goal
A smile, maybe a tear, at a time

Darling,
You did well, you did enough
You didn't give up
