              |~ Gratitude ~|
Tears of joy streaming out of her chocolate brown eyes
As she starts to smile
Reminiscing on the good times & even the bad times
Happy now because if it wasn't for those times...
She wouldn't be who she is now
Bullied when she was a child
Now she is maturing
Maturing into a smart young lady
Always have a victorious smile
Look at her now
Working hard, & chasing her dreams now
Thankful for her mom because
Her mother believed in her
From depression, suicidal thoughts ran through her mind
Now? She's stronger as ever now
No matter how much they push her
She will never let them break her down
Like the quote says...
Kill them with success,
& bury them with a smile.
