Keep the faith

Toni Dulaney 1989 (Ohio)



Your so strong like a soldier going to war,
Never giving up when the devil knocked at your door.
When the odds weren't in your favor you found a better way out,
You kept faith intact never did you doubt.
Your precense is precious you have a beautiful soul,
When life put forth obstacles you never fell in the hole.
You make the best out of life when life isn't kind,
You have a beautiful heart and a wonderful mind.
So leave here and stand tall like that soldier,
Because remember you have a daughter at home that just wants you to hold her.
