The Gift You Gave Me

The look I saw when I gave you a piece of me

Gave me more joy than the grin you shined.

The fact you gave me a piece of yourself

Made me feel like someone’s there.

How did something out of joy and kindness

Made such an impact on me?

Now I can walk in the valley of falsehood

And see the truth

Knowing I am its bright light.

I can conquer the mightiest monster

And feel like I can take on a battalion.

I can soar higher.

I can fight harder.

And now I know I can be better.

I can be a champion,

I CAN WIN!

And for that moment,

I thank you

Princess of the cheerleaders.

Now it’s time to take the field.

“Victory, you are mine!”
