You've Been So Supportive

You sure have been nice

And so inspiring too!

Believing in me

The way that you do!

You've always been there

Right from the start

While I've struggled along

Towards the dream in my heart

Sometimes it seems

I'll get nowhere at all

When I'm trying my best

Then just run into walls!

But your praise is encouraging

No matter how tough it gets

And I'm proud I can say

I haven't given up yet!

You've been so supportive!

And what a difference it makes

Thank you for everything!

You've really been great!

You Need A Break

Last time we talked

You were down in the dumps

Not feeling too chipper

You've been taking some lumps

Seems like it's one thing

Then another - no luck!

And I'll bet that some days

You just hate to get up!

But get up you do

Bless your little heart

Even when you feel like

You're falling apart

So here's wishing you better days

With no crap to take!

Life's dealt you enough of it

You need a break!

You Can't Please Everyone

As long as I've known you

I can honestly say

The best you can do

Is always your way

Your heart is in everything

Big job or small

And I know if you did it

You gave it your all!

But lately you're stressing

It's not hard to see

You're doing too much

And I'll bet you agree

There's just so many hours

In one given day

And you can't please everyone

So stop trying - ok?

Time To Let Go

There's something important

That I need to share

I don't mean to offend you

It's just that I care

I know you're hurting

Because you cannot forget

Past choices you've made

And now deeply regret

You'd go back and change it

If only you could

To do it right this time

You're sure that you would

Well - those feelings are human!

We all make mistakes

Some big ones - some little ones

But whatever the case

There does come a day

You must let your heart know

It's time to forgive yourself

It's time to let go!

This Too Shall Pass

I realize that lately

You've been feeling real bad

Just so overwhelmed

With the problems you've had

Trying to figure

Which way to go

Looking for answers

That you need to know

It's a hard place to be in

A tough time no doubt

But while you are struggling

To work it all out

Try to remember

Storms never do last

And like those gone before it

This too shall pass!

So You Made A Mistake

I realize you're feeling badly

And would like to turn back time

To undo something I know

Has been staying on your mind

So you made a mistake - you're human!

No more - no less than that

Nobody here is perfect

And you need to give yourself slack

To live and to learn isn't easy

But that's what we all have to do

There really is no way around it

Not even for nice people - like you!

I Will Always Be Here For You

If you should ever wonder

Who would be there when

You have a hill that you must climb

And you're not quite sure you can

Or if you're feeling lost and lonely

If only for just a while

And all you need is someone who cares

To listen and help you to smile

Whatever you find yourself going thru

Whenever - wherever you are

No matter how big it may seem to be

Or the answer no matter how far

I will promise you this right now

And you can believe that it's true

As long as I can draw one single breath

I will always be here for you!

I Care About You

It's not hard to see

You've been really down

So sad and unhappy

Like you're heart's on the ground

Trying to hang in there

And do what you must

While struggling with something

That's been pretty rough

When life is a challenge

It can wear you right out

But you'll be alright

I have no doubt

And though I can't change

What you're going thru

I just want you to know

I care about you!

Hang In There Baby

It hasn't been easy

I know that it's rough

But you're gonna make it

Cause you're pretty tough!

Don't let it get you

All down in the dumps

This isn't the first time

You've taken some lumps

I'm right here beside you

Cheering you on

Someone you know

You can always lean on

So give me your hand

Hold on to mine

And hang in there baby!

You're doing just fine!

Bullied - To Rise Above

 

I see it clearly within your eyes

And in your smile half there

You don't feel loved, not truly so

And you're not so sure who cares

All those hurtful, belittling words

Directed so often at you

Have sadly become your reality

And in your mind perhaps they are true

You hear them so often, they've worn your heart down

To a place where it's too dark to see

That you deserve love, respect and kindness

You do!! Just take it from me!

You're not stupid or ugly or dumb

Or any of those negative things!

You're awesome, unique and beautiful too

And someday you will find your wings!

These are the words that you must believe in

For the strength to rise on above

To realize the person who you really are

And to know that indeed you are loved!

Believe In Yourself

I don't mean to preach

But I want you to know

I think you're terrific

And I wish you'd think so

You've got so much going!

And it's not hard to see

How special you are

Just take it from me!

But sometimes we're looking

Thru negative eyes

Blind to the strength

That we have down inside

Then we put ourselves down

And get a case of the blues

It's a miserable feeling

And rough to go thru

So believe in yourself!

Rise above life's bad breaks!

For there's no doubt about it

You've got what it takes!
