Onward with grace

Trust your heart, it led you here,
Through tangled dreams and silent fear.
It whispered hope when all was dark,
Lit your path with one brave spark.

And trust your mind, it saw the storm,
Shielded you, kept you warm.
When love ran wild, it held you tight,
And steered you back towards what's right.

You are the tale of both combined,
Of soul and logic well-aligned.
Each step you took, both fierce and kind,
Built the strength you now will find.

So walk ahead; your path is yours,
Through open fields or bolted doors.
Don’t count the tears that fell behind,
They watered seeds you’re yet to find.

What you have now, you’ve earned in full,
With every scar, each rising pull.
Don’t let regret dim all you’ve won,
The fight you fought is never done.

Hold that you love, don’t let it stray,
It chose to walk with you this way.
And even when the night feels long,
You’re not alone. We make you strong.

Head high, heart soft, with steady pace,
You’ve got the strength, you’ve got the grace.
The world awaits the light you give;
Walk on, dear sister. Rise and live.

Start to finish fine meter and, within each line there is part admiration and love between siblings, a 'how to be confirmation of respect and more. Your writing truly displays both a clear mind mind and heart.

'And even when the night feels long,
You’re not alone. We make you strong.

Head high, heart soft, with steady pace,
You’ve got the strength, you’ve got the grace'

Thank you Emma☺️. And you're right... This was for my sister who was going through a difficult time in life and i wanted to show her how much I cared and to let her know that im here no matter what as she was when I was younger

[emmajoygreen]

How wonderfully wonderful: and how siblings should be! I have a brother, Jack, like you!

[emmajoygreen]

my words above bounced away before I could add that families can and should be as you and your sister are - sadly is not always so. Thank you.

[Webster]

I completely agree... The world has lost sense with the meaning of family. With me and my family, family always comes first

[emmajoygreen]

Is my time to completely agree!

I think people need to get life of something is undone or to be done. Whatever I know my responsibility but you too fear not surrender not even though theif. I know you will not do wrong.
