Before & After

Before and after, we’ll embrace what we find. In the purpose of the journey,  we’ll leave fear behind.

Before the dawn breaks, 

when the world’s still asleep,

I gather my thoughts, 

the words I keep.

In the shadows of doubt, 

I find the strength to rise,

With belief in my mind,

and passion in the spirit to-

welcome another day come.

Before and after,

the journey unfolds,

With every step taken, 

new stories are told.

In the moments of change, 

we learn and we grow,

Before and after, 

let our true self convey.

After the storm passes, 

when the skies turn blue,

I’ll embrace every lesson, 

every part of the view.

With stories that,

remind me of battles I’ve fought,

In the light of my healing, 

I cherish what I’ve sought.

Every ending’s a chance for a brand new start,

In the struggle and trying hard, 

we play our own part in making an influence.

So gather the pieces, 

let your spirit lift,

In the tapestry of life, 

we’ll shine so bright.

So here’s to the chapters, 

the paths yet to tread,

In the story of understanding, 

let empathy be our thread.

Before and after, 

we’ll embrace what we find,

In the purpose of the journey, 

we’ll leave fear behind.
