You are strong ***

When you feel all alone
and at the end of your rope
don't hang your head down
don't give up, have hope
 
Remember you are strong
remember that you tried to lend a hand
you can help to prop someone up
but you can not force them to stand
 
Be proud of yourself, you did all you could
so many people would not even try
I know your heart is breaking now
you feel defeated and you want to cry
 
When you're feeling sad and blue
try to keep this in your mind
your a warm and caring person
and they're getting harder to find
 
I wish you strength and peace
I am proud to say we're family
I hope your spirit is lifted soon
I want you to be happy
