The Story of My Life

The story of my life
I hope for more
I take some steps
Toward my goal
I can only hold it for so long
I fall behind

The story of my life
I hope for more
I pray to change
I'm blinded to my progress
Here I slip
Here I stand

The story of my life
I try alone
But it cannot be done
I grab someone's hand
If he's strong
Then so am I

The story of my life
My steps are not only my own
They are partially his
I am still a child
But I am strong
The story of my life

Daniel

You are a mystery I cannot solve

Both obviously and subtly in your reservation

I see where you hide and draw back

It reminds me that I don’t understand

Because I don’t know your past

How can I know where you come from?

How can I know if you do not show me?

I hope that you show yourself

I hope that you allow someone to see you

And if I never get the chance

It will be enough to know that someone did

You Shine

Some people shine, like crisp cold days, 

Like reflected snow, catching the sun. 

And you are all those things and more; 

You smile and others pass it on. 

Its not because your smile is nice, 

Though trust me it is, and not only to me. 

Its what your smile shows: your faith, 

Your caring, your humble confidence. 

So I want to be like your smile, 

I want to be like everything that is beneath it. 

Because you shine, reflecting light from the source. 

And we all can't help but notice.
