Strength from Within

A life had gone bad,
A love now had died.
What did she want?
"Please HELP me," she cried.

Running away
From all that she knows,
A scared plea to save her
From life's cruel blows.

They all tried to help
With all that they had,
They loved and supported.
It made them quite sad.

They gave 'til it hurt them,
No more could they take,
To watch her do nothing
Made their hearts start to break.

Backed into a corner
No more could she stay,
It was time to stand up.
Be a Woman!, they prayed.

They all came together
To stand by her, stand strong,
To take full account
Of her life...to belong.

One's strength surely comes,
Others can't do it for you.
Sometimes it takes tough love
For yourself to be true.

It's the ones who stand tall
With you, when side-by-side
Who will be there to help you
On this crazy life's ride.

When all's said and done
When they must take a step back
It will all come together
There is no turning back.

The decisions they make
For themselves will be right.
When it all comes together
Success is surely in sight.

So when life has gone bad
For the love to not die,
Please stand for yourself and
Find strength, do not cry.

For when all's said and done
And we're on the right track,
We'll be stronger and healthier,
Able to give real love back.
