THE STRENGTH OF ONE
 

When promises turn and walk away,
and leave you stunned and confused,
and you're really not sure of what to say,
though you feel cheated and abused,
you must know it has just begun,
with you, the strength of one.

People all lost in worlds of their own,
don't even have time to write,
busy, working themselves to the bone,
how they give up, without a fight,
and you, knowing you have won,
for you are, the strength of one.

You put it on the line every day,
while they still cling to prayer,
for you are sure that in some way,
the belief will get you there,
and you know as you bask in the sun,
that you are, the strength of one.

Thoughts, tiny little thoughts,
are the planter of the seeds,
action, and the results it brought,
it meets each of your needs,
for you know that life must be fun,
and nature gives, the strength of one.

Words, just simple words,
brings so many laughs and smiles,
the sweetest sound you've ever heard,
as it echoes through all those miles,
and you've known, that one special hon,
but you left, with the strength of one.

Dreams, those powerful dreams,
keep you propelled and in tune,
for you know, it will explode,
and you can feel it is soon,
yet you're patient and won't jump the gun,
full control, with the strength of one.

Losers, so many losers you find,
you must sigh and continue,
they must discover their own mind,
there's nothing more you can do,
and deep within, a daughter, a son,
yet you truck on, the strength of one.

Ahead, tomorrow, it does not matter,
it is all about here and now,
for some will be thinner, and others fatter,
it all works out somehow,
for you have a truth you won't shun,
the power, and the strength of one.

Who knows, who is aware,
of what you really are,
there are those who really do care,
they are both near and afar,
yet, different as hot dog and bun,
you with knowledge, the strength of one.

From coast to coast, land to land,
you have given your all,
though so few can understand,
as you respond to your call,
nature presents things to be done,
and gives, the strength of one.

Building and building, more each day,
such solid steps to take,
and you know, that come what may,
it is your duty to make,
for each step is a battle won,
the results of, the strength of one.
