Know I'll Be There, a General fanfic

Know I’ll Be There

Can you ever feel the beauty inside?

Can you feel the strength in every stride?

Life is a road that leads to many places,

Different opportunities, choices, and different faces.

But have you ever thought,

About how fast we get caught,

Up in the struggles of a single day?

And how sometimes it’s sunny – but it feels so grey?

You have to look up and know there is hope,

And so many people can help you cope.

You will see that others care,

Gather your courage and take my dare.

There might be those who’ll spread cruel things,

But hold your head high, and hear the birds sing.

Smell freshly picked flowers, blue and pink,

So as you read this, STOP! And think.

If you feel so lost, or sinking so low,

Remember we’ve all been there; it’s a chance to grow.

Here’s a story about a girl I once knew,

She had problems and worry, but somehow she grew.

She used to be on drugs and wandered my street,

There was only herself, she managed to cheat.

She had no respect for her own poor soul,

And she simply fell - and lost control.

She hit rock bottom, but then she became strong,

And owned up to all, that she did wrong.

She got back on her feet and ran to her mom,

Who held her tight; spoke wise and calm.

And here’s what she said,

Without a doubt in her head:

“Honey, don’t ever cry and dread the days to come,

Just remember your friends and the place you come from.

There you will find everyone that knows,

How to plant a seed, and watch as it grows.

You still have that beauty that remains inside,

And feel the strength in every stride.

You are amazing – as everyone can see,

You can become what you want to be.

I’ll stand here, and watch your life unfold,

And my arm will always be here to hold.

You will become strong, and I will smile,

Have a little patience – and wait a little while.”

So love with your heart and live without a care,

Don't evergive up and know I’ll be there.
