All her life she was waiting
Finding her way home
It wasn't a house or a town
The lost soul was looking for
It took a long time to establish
Which way to look or where to turn
The poor girl was broken
Nothing could mend her soul
And all the misfortunes that happened
During the journey of hope
The girl had taken them deeply
Within her soul, blaming herself
For all the ugly,
Wishing the journey would end
Finding new hopes, only to find out
The road had a dead end
When people kept telling her she was strong,
She surely thought they were wrong.
How empty she felt and how lonely her heart
Would beat at night, dreaming of
The only one she ever loved.
Losing everybody she cared for
And loved the most,
She found the strength
To walk further down this rocky road.
Finally she found forgiveness within herself
She looked deep, analyzing her journey
With all the lessons she had learned
Finally she saw the bright light had shone
To show her life is precious
And she is a strong soul after all
A survivor in the end.
the golden heart of hers finally sighed when
She realised she found her way home.
