Blessed

It’s funny how casually people come into your life
Most walk in and walk out just as fast
But some stay awhile and teach a lesson
While others are perfect for the stage you’re at

Many people have walked in and out of my life
To teach me things like forgiveness and how to make friendships last
Though most walk in to eventually walk out
There are others that don’t quite go so fast

The ones that walk in to stay
In the end are most important of all
They’re there through all the lessons learned
And to pick you up when you fall

They are the ones I won’t forget
As I go on with my life
Because I know when the darkness comes
That they will be my light

As I get older and start out into the world
I remember what I’ve been taught
I’ve learned to laugh, love and dream
But most of all to be thankful for all I’ve got

With all that I have, I’m very blessed
Because most kids just don’t have
People to love and to support them
Like the amazing people that I’ve had

There’s no way these words can describe
All the things you have done for me
I just hope that someday I have the strength
To save someone like you saved me

“God determines who walks into your life; it’s up to you to decide who you let leave, who you let stay and who you refuse to let go.”
