What We Become

What We Become

Our parents teach us, the best that they can

With hopes that we, will follow the plan

It doesn't matter, where we come from

It's what we do with what we have, and what we become

It's what we want, it's what we need

That's measured out, in the life that we lead

To make each moment, count for something more

To me, I believe, that's what we're living for

Leaving an impression, for others to follow

To fill our roles, with a life we can swallow

The path we travel, on the journey we take

Will have challenges, with each choice we make

Within, we have the strength to prevail

It's our journey, so how can we fail

If we get stuck, and we're in doubt

We need to reaffirm, what life is about

I find helping others, is something I treasure

A life's gift, that is always a pleasure

You may want to sit, and do nothing at all

If that's the case, I hope you hear the call

When you are older, and are looking back

What was needed, what did you lack

We have so much that we could do, in our life's total sum

It's what we do with what we have, and what we become

I truly believe, we have it in us to become what we truly wish to be.

We just have to strive for it. Even if we think we are going in the

wrong direction and realize it, we have the power to change it

and go in the right direction. Our life is ours to live, and mold

it into what we want. No matter where we are, or who we are.

Be someone that you can be proud of in yourself, because it is

all about What We Become.
