Defining Me
Standing for what you believe in
Regardless of the odds against you
And the pressure that tears at your resistance...
THAT'S COURAGE!
Keeping a smile on your face
When inside you feel like dying
For the sake of supporting others...
THAT'S STRENGTH!
Stopping at nothing
And doing what's in your heart
When you know it's right...
THAT'S DETERMINATION!
Doing more than is expected
To make another's life a little more bearable
Without uttering a single complaint...
THAT'S COMPASSION!
Helping a friend or family in need
No matter the time or effort
To the best of your ability...
THAT'S LOYALTY!
Giving more than you have
And expecting nothing
but nothing in return...
THAT'S SELFLESSNESS!
Holding your head high
And being the best you know you can be
When life seems to fall apart at your feet...
THAT'S CONFIDENCE!
Facing each difficulty with the assurance
That time will bring you better tomorrow's
And never giving up...
THAT'S FAITH IN GOD!
