Fight for what you want. For if you don’t, it can’t happen.

 

Remember there is only one way to succeed. You must . . .

 

 

Stand Up Strong

 

When the road narrows and you can’t get through,

Face the challenge with courage and do what you need to do.

Climb life’s stairs, one step at a time, gripping the handrail,

So you overcome each obstacle encountered and prevail.

 

Sometimes you’ll stumble, sometimes you’ll fall,

But get back up, so you don’t lose it all.

With friends in your corner, you’ll face the storm,

Together you’re stronger, together you're warm.

 

Dream of a future, with bright stars in the sky,

With the wings of a dove, over open pastures fly.

Breezes blow, taking you on a journey of exploration,

Giving you an opportunity for discovery and gathering of information.

 

Believe there are no barriers, big or small,

With courage in your heart, you can conquer them all.

Life can be a large puzzle, but you will find your place,

With hope and determination, keep up the pace.

 

Through valleys of shadows, you’ll do what is right,

For every dark moment, you’ll seek out the light.

With laughter and or tears, you’ll compose your own song,

Even in a complex, confusing world, you’ll know where you belong.

 

Each setback is a chance to reflect and review,

With strength and your spirit, there's nothing you can't do.

The journey meanders, but you’ll do what is right,

On the horizon ahead, you’ll keep your goal in sight.

 

So stand up strong and march toward success.

Dreams will come true and diminish your stress.

You will be blessed for the effort you made to make this be.

You will be rewarded for reaching new heights, as all can see.
