We Rise

Moving Upward

We Rise

We rise by lifting others. We rose on the day our hearts became available. We were a gifting to others.

We rise when we give others a second chance and start looking at life with a bigger and better glance.

We rise when we keep going. We’ve risen through bravery and now the courage we have just keeps flowing.

We rise when we pledge to never give up. Recognizing life and it’s beauties that we should forever live up.

We rise from those long working days and all nighters. Never throwing the towel in because we’re all fighters.

We rise we continue to do our best. Fighting through a million and one “No’s” to make it to one “Yes”.

We rise through the dirt and mud as diamonds and pearls. We rise because we are the sunlight shining the world.

We rise because we stay in faith and always believe. He rises, she rises, we rise with a lot to achieve.
