Standing for what you believe in,
Regardless of the odds against you,
And the pressure that tears at your resistance,

Keeping a smile on your face,
When inside, you feel like dying,
For the sake of supporting others,

Stopping at nothing,
And doing what’s in your heart,
You know is right,

Doing more than is expected,
To make another’s life a little more bearable,
Without uttering a single complaint,

Helping a friend in need,
No matter the time or effort,
To the best of our ability,

Giving more than you have,
And expecting nothing,
but nothing in return,

Holding your head high,
And being the best you know you can be
When life seems to fall apart at your feet,
Facing each difficulty with the confidence
That time will bring you better tomorrows,
And never giving up,
